Justice and freedom is the corner stone of the British Empire. Freedom of speech is the chief advantage enjoyed by British people. Wakefield Patent Castrol Motor Oil is 100% British and ensures freedom from mechanical trouble. It is no dearer than other quality oils; it is sold by the Imperial gallon which is 20% more than the American or Wine gallon by which measure most other oils are sold here. Insist on correct quality and quantity.
