speed of so miles an hour, was
stopped by automatic application

OIL STATIONS CAN HAVE
SPOTLESS DRIVEWAYS

Oil station driveways frequent
ly become an eyesore because Of
the accumulated oil drippings
from cars being serviced. And
because many of these stations
occupy prominent locations and
are designed for attractiveness,
smutty driveways lower the gen.
eral appearance of the station.
Standard Oil stations in New
Jersey have adopted successful
and simple means of keeping their
driveways spotless which may be
applied equally well to concrete
Sun faces.
All excess oil is wiped off the
surface of the concrete or is scrub
bed quite clean with kerosene or
gasoline to cut the oily deposits.
A little vigourous scrubbing with
a stiff brush Will remove most Of
this oil. The, surface is then
flushed with a hose stream of
clean water and while the pave

In the New Jersey stations, the
men in charge report that two ap-
plications each week are sufficient
to keep the concrete surface spot
less. If dry cement is applied to
the moist surface of thepavement,
It is swept over with abroom. On
drying this leaves the surface
white and covers up the stains left
by the oil drippings. One middle

results are obtained by dustine
