new Zerolene ‘F ’ for Fords, she starts quicker,

farther on a gallon of gasoline.”
Zerolene “F ” for Fords gets to all the parts
where oil is needed, especially th e wrist-pin
bearings and the upper half o f the cylinder
walls, which are frequently “ oil-starved”
when an unsuitable lubricant is used.
Zerolene “F ” for Fords is made by th e
Standard Oil Com pany’s patented vacuum
process. I t deposits a minimum o f carbon.
Yet Zerolene “F ” for Fords costs not more,
b u t less than most of the special Ford oils on
the m arket.
