Lubricate your carwith Zerolene, which
costs about half what you pay for many
other oils, and watch what happens.
First you find that your gasoline bills
are lower. Repeated tests in our labora-
tories have demonstrated that, other fac
tors being equal. cars fabricated with
Zerolene make about S % better gasoline
mileage than cars fabricated with other
os.
Second, your car goes from 259o to
501o farther before you need to grind
valves or remove carbon. This fact, too,
is fully substantiated by numerous dem
onstrations in our laboratories.
Made from the Best Crude So Far
Discovered
Zerolene is made from the best crude
so far discovered for the manufacture of
motor oil - Western Naphthenic Base
Crude, which has exceptional heat-resist-
ing qualities that are well known to lubri-
eating engineers. This company collects
that crude and by means ofits dual gath
ering and pipe line system transports it
separately to the refinery.
There it is refined by our exclusive high
vacuum process, which preserves in Zero
lene all the superior qualities of this
selected crude.
