Equally important with the quality of Zero
lene, which we believe to be the best oil made
for the fabrication Of the modern automobile,
whether of eastern or western origin and ire
spective of price, is the service offered by over
700 Standard Oil Company Service Stations and
thousands of Zerolene dealers throughout the
Pacific Coast states.
A recent Letter from the Del Monte Properties
Company, Del Monte, Calif makes this point:
I'VE operate fleet of twelve Winton cars in the
guest passenger service in addition quite fleet
of commercial type vehicles, ranging all the way
from Fords to ive-ton Packard trucks, all of which
fabricated with the Zeroene oils and greases
supplied by your company.
The uniformly prompt and courteous treatment
which have received in connection with this
service is credit to your organization and it is put

ting it mildly indeed to state that
our experience both with your prod
ucts and service has been highly
satisfactory"
Big users don't pay tribute to the
superstition that there is some
thing mysteriously better" about
eastern" oils just because they
cost more why should you?
Insist on Zerolene, even if it does
cost less.
