J. BREIER Co. C om er Gth and Willamette Eugene. Ore. Is a L ion afraid of a cock? Medieval wiseacres used to w a g their heads and tell tales like this in the village marketplace. A n amusing superstition, o f course, but is it any more absurd than the belief that there is something mysteriously “better" about eaatem motor oils just because they cost more and come from eastern crudes? Professional drivers and economy-run experts out after records don’t share this superstition w h y should y o u pay tribute? Zeroiene— the choice o f Western Motorists Zeroiene lubricates more cars in the Pacific Coast states than any other oil made— a better oil if it does cost less. Zeroiene increases the gasoline mileage, reduces the carbon removal and maintenance costs and lengthens the life o f any car in which it is used. Zeroiene checked fifteen times fo r quality As a m atter o f fact the best crude so far dis covered for the manufacture o f motor lubri cants is obtained on the Pacific Coast. And the most highly developed refining process is the high-vacuum process, the patents on which are held by this Company. And 15 positive checks on Zeroiene at the refinery make quality con trol absolute. W h y pay tribute to superstition when you w an t the best oil you can get? Insist on Zero iene—ask for it by nam e.
