The Capita Journal Salem, Oregon Jt 4 mm mm a b I I -A..ftVI Page TV' Quarter Million Spent In Making NewOTCycoT When the Associated Oil com pany recently introduced its new motor oil to the public It attrib uted the creation of the product to science. "Science Creates Cy eol" was the slogan that appeared in newspaper advertisements and on signboards all over the coun try. No one could doubt the truth of this statement after paying a vi.-iit to the Avon refineries of the big company. There, in a building costing $250,000, hare been housed many ingenious devices each one a scientific achievement. If one were to step up to any single one of the large and small levlces In the huge laboratory he could be entertained by the hour with the most romnntic and fas cinating talk, quite putside the everyday humdrum talk about the reason for this 0r that device, why It was made, the research and mathematical exactness back of it, what it does and what it all means. Outside the building are ar ranged pipe lines which convey crude oil Into the various sections within, where the crude petroleum, like wax in the hands of a mod eller Is converted into the motor oil known as "Cycol." This motor oil is different from other oils In tlmt it Is free fram wuai memists now as "sulpho" and other unstable compounds, found to be injurious to an auto mobile's mechanism. To prove the efficiency and durability of Its product the As sociated Oil company has also built a motor testing laboratory costing $175,000, where the lubricant Is subjected to the most rigid service tents. The results ,of these tests how wbat the oil' stands up re markably under Intense engine heat.
