There was once upon a time (not so long ago when, if anyone had asked me to name the star I loved to dislike most, I would have un- Fesitatingly answered, Frankie Sinatra. The very sound of his voice curdling from a record-player two blocks away would send icebergs down my spine big enough to sink the Titanic all over again.

Do you own one of these valuable cars?
Take this precaution now to keep it 'lively'
and protect it against premature old age
Ask yourself this. How much is your car worth today-how much will it be worth in 3 or 4 years' time? Will it depreciate quickly- or can you prolong its life' and value?
How your car loses value Your car is only as good as its engine. Good looks are worthless unless accompanied by good engine performance. Engine wear is the enemy. When your car loses 'pep' when she flags on hills-becomes 'floppy'-unresponsive-these are the warning signs. She's getting old before her time. Losing value. Money. Unfortunately engine wear is like tooth decay-you don't know it's happening until it's happened. So what can you do? You can take one simple precaution.
Shell X-100 reduces oxidation, discourages the formation of dan- gerous deposits and combats CORROSİVE_ACID WEAR.
--but first, let's look at the cause of
wear.
What causes engine wear? To some extent-friction. That is, metal rubbing on metal. Now, all good oils give protection against friction-but engines still wear out. Shell experts wanted to know why -they looked for other
CRUSTS.
After years of patient research, they found that most wear in engines is caused by acid action—or corrosive wear. This occurs when moisture in your engine combines with combustion gases to form acids. These acids ent-yes, ear-into the metal surfaces when the engine is running cold on short journeys, when your car is at rest between runs, or overnight in your garage. As an engine cools, ordinary oils
Shell research technicians worked for years to produce Shell X-100
Motor Oil,
What would you do in a caso like this ?
Suppose you were a car manu- facturer. Suppose you made the Humber or the Hillman, You know you have a fine car. You want to prove it to the world. You send it on a gruelling trip, across con- tinents, mountains, ice, snow, deserts. You must put up a sen sational performance. You must not fail. Which oil would you choose for your car?
They Chose Shall X-100 If your judgment were as sound as Humber, Jaguar, Austin, Hillman,
and Ford, you would choose Shell X-100-as they did when they, wanted to prove the endurance and efficiency of their cars. And re- member → most important — these cars were not 'specials'-they were The ordinary production cars. kind you can buy—the kind you may be driving now. Whether it was to race through 15 countries in 90 hours; hurtle round a race track for seven days and nights at over 100 m.p.b.; to win the Monte Carlo Rally or to speed to the Cape-they relied upon Shell X-100 Motor Oil,

A remarkable new oil Shell X-100 Motor Oil, produced as the result of this intensive re earch into the causes of engine wear, does three things. (1) # ■ combats acid action—or corrosive turar-by providing a constant pro- tective film for all parts of your engine which does not 'drain off” like.ordinary oils. (2) It reduces oxidation and lacquer formation— thus minimising ring-sticking, loss of power and oil consumption. (3) It has a cleansing effect on your engine and keeps it clean. (1 keeps combustion soot in sus- pension to be drained away with cach oil change.)
