We discovered OPEN
substitution

You know and we know that the
majority of dealers selling automo-
tive oils in the District of Columbia
are honest men, striving to give
honest service. You know and we
know that the majority of these
dealers do not overcharge, do not
misrepresent, do not substitute.
However,in checking up recently,
to see if motorists really we're getting
Mobiloil when they asked for it in
all cases, we discovered an amount
of open substitution that gives us
serious concern.
While we found that many honest
dealers were supplying exactly what
Evening star., 1925-08-27
10 every Washington
automotive dealer

Every honest automobile or supply
dealer, whether he sells oil or not, should
be interested in this campaign to sup
press substitution. The stability of his
business is threatened if consumers can
not depend on the honest delivery OF
goods asked for. So we ask you to put the
weight of your influence behind this
campaign by attacking substitution your
self wherever you find it.
Evening star., 1925-08-27
In fairness
to honest dealers

In all fairness We must state that when
called on, some dealers made no effort to
substitute. When asked for Mobiloil
they frankly said that they did not have
any on hand, but undergraduates straight
forward effort to sell another brand. The
idea of underhanded substitution never
occurred to them.
Evening star., 1925-08-27

\ RECENT investigation has re-
n vealed serious situation. We
have determined to take action to
safeguard the motorists and protect
our reputation.
Ever since the advent OF the auto
mobile, the chief concern of the
Vacuum Oil Company has been
to provide effective, safe and scien-
tihc fabrication for AUTOMOBILE
engines.
To this end we manufacture line
fautomotive oils known as Gargoyle
Mobiloil, under the designations of
Mobiloil "E," Arctic, "a" "B'' and
"BB."
These oils, due to their suita bility
for engine use and their high char
acter, have attained a nationwide
distribution and general acceptance
from the public.
We have placed the distribution
of Mobiloil in the hands of thousands
of dealers, depending on them to
supply motorists with the genuine
oils when requested. But we have
found, through investigation, that not
all dealers supply genuine Mobiloil
when asked for.
Evening star., 1925-08-27
To you 1886 Washington motorists

was asked tor, without misrepresenta-
ton, we did discover that quite
few were substituting inferior oils
for Mobiloil.
This is what sometimes happens
A motorist drives up and asks for
the grade of Mobifoil recommended
for his car. He is sometimes sup
piled with a substitute. He drives
away, believing he will receive the
service he has always had from Mobil-
oil. IF trouble results, it reflects not
only on us as manufacturers of
Mobiloil butupon the thousands of
dealers who sell genuine, Mobiloil.
We are determined to stop this
practice and prosecute the offenders.
We propose to continue the
campaign against substitution
AS we explain on this page, we have
already collected and examined a
number of oil samples secured from
Washington dealers.
We will continue to collect and ex-
anime samples of oil sold as Mobiloil.
We will institute proceedings in the
courts against proven substitutors.
In the meantime, protect yourself
by asking for Mobiloil by the full
name i. Mobiloil "E," Mobiloil
Arctic, Mobiloil GA Mobiloil "B''
or rMobiloil"BB,' as specified foryour
car on the Chart of Recommended
tons which has been published by this
Company for nineteen years. The
safest way to make sure that the oil
you get is what you ask for, is to
observe the drum, or can from which
it is drawn. See that this drum or
can is marked in red with our Gar
goyle trademark as printed at the
bottom of this page.
If you suspect substitution notify
us SO that we can investigate. Call
Main 1864 and ask for Mr.. I. H.
Donaldson. We can blot out the
substitution evil if you will help us.

to so retail outlets and asked for Mobiloi,
procuring samples from many. (We will
continue from time to time to so collect and

The car we used was equipped with
special mechanical device. This device
was SO arranged that oil which was pre-
sumably poured into the crankcase as
usual, was actually led off into an empty

and later given to authoritative, dis

analysis.
