Proc- tor k, Gamble Said tp Fill Ail Requisites The necessity for buying gly cerine for winter driving use at drug stores and guessing at the proper grade and quantity of each ingredient, when mixing the home made compound, has been' u hand icap to many who have had faith in the efficiency of jglycerine over other solatlpns. Jn some instances ft.'Jtorists have bought a wrong grade known as crude glycerine which has not the proper specific gravi ty for use in , radiators. Many motorlstB, however, haye been using the correct solution of dis tilled glycerine and water as an anti-fregze for their Radiators during winter. They' hive ' been mixing, the Ingredients them selves, because they could not buy a compound in . the general mar ket. , - j Last year the Bureau of Stand-1 arda at Washington specified as an Ideal radiator solution, "one that will prevent freezing of the radiator liquid without injuring either engine or radiator.j that will not lose, its non-freezing pi'jper tes after continued use and that does not materially change the boiling point of water when dis solved In it." With these specifi cations in mind, and in j order to make a suitable solution avail able everywhere, the Proctor and Gamble company, is putting on the general market a trademarked package of distilled glycerine of the proper specific gravity under the brand name of Wo. This will insure to motorists the opportunity to buy j for their radiators an approved! mixture properly blended and ready for use, which is an important ad vantage, inasmuch as the grade of glycerine obtainable at- drug stores has not been the grade now perfected for this specific use. For the use ef all motorists a table of radiator capacities has been prepared which shows the exact vou more suatainerL 31 quantities of Ivo tobe used' each make of car. The -effectiveness of this solu tion . is mainly derived Xrom. ,the purity, of its only ingredient, glycerine, which is absolutely harmless to any of r the "rubber hose. connections, metallic parts of the radiator, the engine, or the gaskets. Everyone, kffows that glycerine ' is odorless, and it is also known not to be injurious to the finish of a car upon which it may 1e spilled, and that as it has no inflamability there, is no fire hazard. Its boiling point is high er than any solution wth alcohol In it or even than water alone, so that the motor operates at a uniformly efficient temperature. To thse advantages are to be added that distilled glycerine is a freely flowing fluid which does not evaporate and insures no con stant replacement. One filling. at the beginning of cold weaiher; is all that is necessary; that first cost is the only cost, making the glycerine solution an economical ope. S. O. S.
