ing been used to wash out motors
which were to be overhauled, is q
little dark, but answers the purpose
splendidly. To 10 gallons Of oil we
added 2 gallons of kerosene as a
oryer. Hardwood floors require less
oil and unused cyclinder oil requires
more kerosene.

to use when sweeping carpets and
the latter when cleaning bare floors
