Western motor oils are gaining
in popular favor eyery day, says
A.fcfa.' QH. local sales manager
of the Union Oil Company of Cali
fornia. The Wind faith of the
inUttiB-,.accepUng eastern oils
as standard" of quality has been
b&ly shaken ; .following enlight
enment on the relative merits of
eastern and western oils. The
western oils not only meet erry
lubricating rqulretnent but in
many respects have qualities su
perior tg: the; eastern brand.
!Vith the. taaglc power which
th word "Pennsylvania" once
held over the uninformed motor
lsf, on the wane, a favorite argu
ment now auvancea oy cnampions
oL eastern oils is that these stand
to drain the erankcase e?ery 500
miles if a western oil be used as'
against 750 miles with an eastern
oit,;
. Unofrtunately , it is absolutely
impossible to compare two oils in
service as the conditions nnder
which they operate cannot be dup
licated. Nevertheless, testa have
demonstrated conclusively that
the comparative consumption of
eastern and western oils gives no
advantage to the eastern product
in this respect.

from the price complex. He point-

ed out that because eastern oils Da Jewett and the recently In
troduced new line of Paiges, is
sell at a higher price the buyer
was inclined to. regard that fact
as an Indication of quality, and
the 'service to be obtained from
it. The valuation, however, he
said was false, for western oils of
a quality equal to the best east
ern sells at a lower price because
there is eliminated te transpor
tation cost.
The' points of distinction be
tween good lubricating-oils are
fine ones and necessarily reflect
methods of refining. The Arlsto
oil -manufactured and refined by
the Union. Oil company has met
a most receptive market. Its sale,
he said, has increased enormous-

trend of growth, being close to the
normal line. March is always one
of the high production months
This year it is 19 per cent ahead
of the aversge for March in the
past three years, but this is noi
taken by the industry to indicate
that 1926 will go very far ahead o
1925. It is felt that last year
and that a normal increase will be
as much as can be expected. Sev
eral companies reported In vari
ous sections that sales had broken
all records during the past few
weeks. February was virtually a
elosed month for the northern belt
of the country due to the bacl
weather, with the result that
