"I've learned a'plenty about
oil since I drove a Saxon Six"
...look back with Granny, yoa'ii learn something, too
IN 1916 Granny was full of gumption but her
Saxort Six wasn't. How eoulS it be, all sludged
up by old-fashioned oil? Some folks still use it,
but not Granny, She sticks to "KPRf ' because
it's fortified to fight heat and air, two big causes
of the sludge that makes any car lose pep.
m 1924 , burned-out bearings made Granny's
highway life one long detour. "Just plain oil,"
it seems, couldn't keep her Chandler safe. Now
adays, a bearing's worst enemy is corrosion,
and with "RPM's" anti-corrosion compound
stopping that, repair bills are rare indeed in
Granny's mail.
STOP AT THESE StCNS
SO TODAY it's little wonder that Granny's
grand-chiidren are strong for RPM Motor OiL
They know bigger, faster modern cars need o'l
that's fortified to fight carbon and sludge, to
guard engine hot spots, to end corrosion and
foaming. "RPM's" added compounds stop ail
these car troubles that's why it gives your
motor the finest protection money can buy.
"RPM" keeps ears young
