A Sad But Appreciative Customer
Said to Us the Other Day
"I wish I hud purchased some oil
from you when you told me I
needed some "
lie was sad because his oil ran low, causing a
burnt-out bearing and consequent expense. But
he appreciated the fact that we had gone to the
trouble of checking the oil and the erankcase
and suggesting that he needed a quart. Next,
time he will willingly take our word for it and
fill up with TEXACO Golden Motor Oil.

ami the repair hills that lvmilt
from faulty hibrica t ion
The iniporlanco 'of correct lu
luicatiim is h-st shown by a srrics
of tiHin which were conducted ftt
Iowa State colkne proving that
ii-' pt i cent of thf lotal upkeep on
a ear is InrjrHy ib-peiulent upon
tlie type of lubrication that It icets.
KiKiin s obtained from these tests
proveil that (1) cost of oil (-') tho
cost of Riisotlne :t) maintenance
eofls. niul-(4) ilepieciation were
largely dependent upon the lubri
cation which the car received. The
d. preclatiun of a cur, Incidentally
was rated in these tests as 30. S
per cent of the total operating cost.
Kroni thtMe figure, it is easily
seen that if car owners wish to
wave themselves monfy and keep
their cars always la trim, they
must not merely rely on lubrica
tion at frequent Inlervelx. They
must also lubricato their cars with
the proper kinds of quality lubri
cants. A New Idea
In this connection, H. W: Ful
ton, chief automotive engineer of
the Tide Water Oil company which
has been manufacturing quality
automobile lubiicanW for 15 years,
save out tho following statement
in a recent Interview:
"An averaK car owner drives
up to a service station and asks
to have his car completely lubri
cated. Too of ten" instead of set
ting lubriennts of one, uniform
high qmilJty, he nets a motor oil
of one make, a Rear lubricant of
another make, and u chassis lubrl
cant of still third. Insti ad of
driving way vrtlh complete, hiKh
quality lubrication, he gets nn un
reliable assortment of lubricants.
Kvery friction spot of the modern
motor must be protected by qual
ity lubricants in order to wlth-
Istund tin- terrific speed at which
it runs. Therefore, the protection
' accorded by miscellaneous lubri
cants is very fur from complote."

Islon, differential and chassis tho

is conducting an educatonul cam-
IalK throughout the country. In
maKuities and newspapers, this
organization, pioneers in the fi-ld.
are impri'ssiiiK' upon motorists I lu
fact that average lubrication is not
adeiuaic lubrication. Correct .lu
brication needs to be done by an
expert.
This company reports that car
owners find the small cost of regu
lar complete Veedol lubrication id
more than offset by tiii; increased
protection 1 his st-rviee iriws in
warding off t roublo and repnir
bills. They have 1ak'-n pubis to

the So to so friction spots in tho
modern automobile. And lhy re
port that Ciir owners who consts
Hi'iitly patronize Veedol dealers
find- that their motors run more
smoothly, more. efficiently, and
that their cars have nn increased
.second-hand value.
Kxperts have Ioiik since proved
that correct lubrication is the most
important factor in keeping ca i's
in perfect niechanical condition.
Tliey have proved beyond doubt,
that poor lubrication is tin; direct
or Indirect cause of Tf per Cent
of all car bills. In this day and
Keneralion most car owners are not
mechanics and don't want to bo.
Since they must rely on the. ser

Flat Trud Balloon
Balloon with its
scientifically
designed tread
permits free
flexing, easier
riding, extra
comfort and safety.
The balloon tire with heavy, flat tread design is obvi
ously stiffer and rides harder. The excess rubber, placed
for appearance at the edges of the tread, is not only
wasted but produces hinging action causing ply separa
tion and "shoulder breaks."
Firestone designed and manufactures OldficKI Tires
and Tubes, distributing them direct to Firestone Dealers
only.through 1 48 Factory Warehouse. Thii effic ient and
economical distribution assures tire buyers everywhere,
clean, fresh stocks of Firestone and Oldlield Tires in all
types and sizes, and has helped to make possible today's
remarkably low prices the lowest in tire history. See
