For your Diesel craft use UNION
Diesel. 1t is absolutely free from

forming compounds. Because of its
higher calorihc value, it delivers
maximum power per pound, assuring
lower fuel cost per hour.
For your car and gasoline -fueled

UNION LUBRICANTS SAVE
YOU MONEY
There is no guess work" when you
specify Union Lubricants, because
Union laboratories have developed a
scientifically correct oil or grease for
every fabrication purpose. You will
get increased efficiency and YOUR oPerat-
Ing costs will be lower because ofless
frequent repairs. 1t is not unusual
to reduce costs from 10 to $50 by
switching to Union Lubricants. To
prove this just ask any one using
