QUESTION- The Consolidated Motor Freight Lines, Inc., of Oakland, Calif., has solved its lubrication problem — by standardizing on Zerolene. Independent Tests Verify Claims Subjecting the anti-western oil superstition to the test of actual comparison in service, this Com­ pany verified independently our claims that Zerolene will lubricate the modem automobile engine as well or better than any oil on the market, irrespective of price, and whether of eastern or western origin. A part of their letter follows: “During the past three or four years v. e have exper­ imented with various brands of eastern and western lubricating oils, including Zerolene oil. The results of these tests have proved to our satisfaction that Zerolene lubricates our equipment with the greatest efficiency. “Our recent decision to lubricate our trucks exclu­ sively with Zerolene oils has resulted in the reduc­ tion to a minimum of mechanical difficulties which were due to faulty lubrication.” Less Carbon—Better Gasoline Mileage ZEROLENE F —the Standard Oil Company’» new improved oil for Ford cars, “Feeds Those Oil-Starved Fords.” Why pay tribute to a superstition? The use of Zerolene, of the proper body, will not only cut down your oil bill, but give you better contin­ uous lubrication, and better lubri­ cation means greater gasoline mileage, less carbon, lower upkeep costs, and a longer life for your car. Insist on Zerolene, even if it does cost less. STANDARD OIL COMPANY (CALIFORNIA) This booklet reports inde­ pendent service tests oi Zerolene made by a num­ ber of large users.
