him which of the proposed alternatives
would be less injurious to China-the

For the past week Tom Cooper has

supported by Moss Patterson at Mum
Der Two on the matter of fabrication
1t is being pointed out to car owners
and especially Cadillac and other high
priced car owners, that the manufac
turers urge the use of special oil for
the motor and special preparation for
the grease cups and the springs.
The best motor oil that can be bought
and especially that recommended by the
car manufacturers, should be used, as
it is cheaper in the long run and helps
to develop the maximum of both power
and smoothness of running
What applies to the Cadillac applies
equally to any car driven" said Mr.
Cooper, and any dealer would rather
see an owner get the best than sell
him any old kind of Oil"
