Pennzoil Offers
New Oil Product

Startling results in the rejuve-
nation Of motors through the use
of Nuzip, the Pennzoil companys
new purging oil, were revealed here
recently by S. E. Orr, district sales
manager for the Pennzoil Co.
Although distribution of Nuzip
is just getting under way, highly
successful results are reported
from all territories" said Orr.
Power increases in motors flushed
out with Nuzip average IL per cent.
Compression pressures are made
more uniform and engines run
smoother and better. Oh and gaso-
line consumption is materially de-
creased. Cars start easier, have
better acceleration and hill-climb-
ing ability"
Pennzoil engineers recommend
that Nuzip be used before motor
tune-up to give the car owner
original new car" performance
Pennzoil dealers are now being
supplied with the new product and
instructed in its use.

is a principal reason why this car
is among the first 10 popular
makes in this area, report local
Mercury and Ford dealers and
Mercury owners.
A typical report of the Mer-
cury's low gasoline consumption
is that OF a local service manager.
who said: Most of the Mercury
owners who bring their cars in
here for fabrication report about
20 miles per gallon at high speed.
One driver claimed % miles to the
gallon at so miles an hour"
Although the Mercury has
large e5-horsepower engine, this
economy is achieved by engineer
ing design and by the high degree
of efficiency in manufacture, ac-
cording to the local dealers. The
large piston displacement of the
Mercury engine, combined with the
low weight Of the car for its size,
permits maintaining brilliant per-
Torrance.
The V-type Mercury motor has
bore of 3.1s7 inches, which is one
eighth inch larger than in Ford
VS. motors. The crankshaft is
also larger, with bigger connect
ing rod bearings. Valve seat in
serts are used under intake and
exhaust valves.
Features of the Mercury body
design include its modern stream
lined appearance, low grille, head
lamps unified with tenders, narrow
running boards and new cylindrical
tail and stop lamps. Space usu-
ally occupied by running boards
has been utilized to provide addi-
tional body width. Seats are extra
wide, the Ford and Mercury dealer
said.

those offered by Western Auto,

tourist TO be inconvenienced on his

First OF the comfort accessories
suggested by Sturtridge are Cata-

of this cloth permits rapid escape
