Make your tractor earn more money
If you can get more and better work from
your tractor at less cost for fuel, oil and repairs,
your profits will be larger. That's certain.
We know that SUNOCO Motor Oil—the new
scientific lubricant — insures greater tractor
power on less fuel and oil. We have proof.
SUNOCO is made in special types for
tractors, where steady, gruelling service de­
mands oils of the highest lubricating value.
No piatter what the size or make of your
tractor. SUNOCO will lubricate it perfectly.
Just tell us the make and model and we will
tell you the type of SUNOCO to us .

Maks Careful Study of Lubricating
Chart Which Goes With Car and
Become Acquainted With Mech­
anism—Oil All Bearings.
Some day I mil going to write an es­
say about the “oil can.” It win con­
tain such plirH«es as "The Motorist's
Rest Friend’
King of the Medicine
Chest”—“A Friend in Need.” etc., and
•very word will lx* trur Iwanw the
oil < an ranks high among automobile!
•civMoriea and 1» use<i only too sel­
dom. says a writer in an exchange.
Rwently a frleml who I hail always
considered u careful driver. Invited me
for a short run. lie atldvlenly seemed
to have changed from a careful driver
to one of the most reckless, if any I
car happened to cross the street lie
would almost drive Into It ami th.-n
jam on the brakes.
I noticed bls
strained expressi.ai, and n«kc<l him
what was the trouble. “The throttle
will Insist on staying <>}>• u." he re-
plhsi, "ami I have to hook my toe
under the accelerator |<e«lal to close
It"
Visions of broken bell-crank«, bent
ish I s . a broken spring or a tight bear- |
Ing (lashed through my mind.
He
stop|s*d the engine, mid worked the
accelerator while I tra'-ed the throttle
n<-thm.
The spring which operated
the pedal ran along a guide and (Ids
part l<«>lte<l particularly- dry. A few­
drops of <>il from our faithful old
friend, “the oil can.” loosened the ac­
tion so that the pedal worked freely
once more. A few more dr.q.s oti the
bell-cranks and other joints ami a
complete cure was effect«!.
Sometimes an engine overheats am!
the owner Is perplexed.
He is ob­
serving all the rules to prevent over­
heating—miming with spark advanced,
keeping on high gear, not letting the
engine race and taking pro|a*r care of
the pump and the rest of the cooling
system. Investigation in one case dis­
closed that the fan licit was broken,
In another that It was slipping.
A
seized fan bearing wav found to he
the cause—and an expensive replace­
ment might have been avoided by
timely recourse to our little friend—
the oil can.

Economy Not Worth While.
AUTDMDBILE
^GDSSIP^
I am sometimes naked If It will pay
to use a chea)>er oil In the oil can, In­
stead of the expensive cylinder oil.
Unqueatlonahly a good lubricating oil
for such purpose can be obtained for
less money, one that will meet ordinary
requirements.
But economy In this
respect Is hardly worth while.
If you have no chart with your ma­
chine, put oil on every lien ring where
there Is no greHse cup. Trace out the
connections for clutch, brakes, amel­
iorator, spark ami throttle lever, mid
oil them frequently. Do not overlook
fan bearings, s -irter and generator,
magneto, or any other part of the
mechanism. It will be time well «pent.
Replacement will be lessened and your
nialntensni-e expense red tn-cl accord­
ingly.
