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.
Get the Facts!
The m any advantages of the personal cheeking ac­
count quickly appeal to women Paying all bills by check
elim inates all discussions, as cancelled th e ks are receipts.
When the housewife has a checking account, budgets
are easier to keep; savings are less subject to disturbance:
th rift is established as a practice; and the home is placed
in its rightful position as a business—conducted along
business lines.
Open a checking account for your wife a t this bank.
Give h er the oportunity to show you how efficient she can
be. No doubt she will show you a healthy cash balance a t
