Declaring that every time west ern motorist put a quart' of East ern oil into his crakcase, he pays fifteen centa for pure prejudice, C. L. Tostevin, Oregon sales man ager for the Union Oil company. has Inaugurated a special drive among his salesmen , toj 'promote the use of western oils by western autoists.' - j ;? "So far as their actual! lubricat ing value is concerned,?! said Mr. Tostevin, at a special meeting of i his organization, "the jonly dif ference between eastern and west ern oil Is one of price. I The dif ference's from natural,.; economic causes' and has nothing j whatever to aff wun quality. The eastern product,.' costs'-Jess for two very simple, reasons; first, the volume of production is much greater, and i second being produced in the west from western i crude, the! freight rates are naturally much lower ' than for , the Imparted east ern pedigreed oil; i "I .' "The fact Is that western motor oil Is made from some of. the finest crudes for ! the" purpose which this country produces.-; As a motor lubricant, ' It has the' en- uui ociucni ui uuiuiuvuiie engineers-ot the .bighest standing. The inclination toward Easten oil is explained by the fact that many autombb'Hes and the majority of motorists are - of eastern origin. With characteristic j tenacity, they cling to the Eastern oil habit. though it is an unwarranted, ex travagant prejudice:, i I "We might as well fafe the fact that, all motor oil! deposit some carbbn4 ; What, we vr anf to remem-! ber; U .'that there are; two kinds of carbon.'
