FINER CARS.

Willys-Knight Great Six.

The Ford Company states that con.j struction of the new plant has been made necessary by greatly increased business in that part of the Pacifie Coast area now being served from the San Francisce plant. This increased business has been the result of the heavy demand that followed introduc tion of the Model A Ford car, it is stated. This same demand resulted in the announcement of the Ford Com- pany, last Spring, of plans for the new assembly plant at Long Beach, Cat, which is now nearing completion.

Many years ago before the discovery of mineral oil

veget- ́able and animal oils were used for lubricating purposes.

It is reasonable to assume that had it not been for the discovery of mineral lubricating oil, the deve lopment of the internal combustion engine the motorcar engine, for instance would not have been possible because vegetable and animal oils can not withstand the terriffic temperatures necessary for satisfactory performance.

A high grade, straight mineral oil is undoubtedly the very best motor- car engine lubricant because, being of high quality, it does not gum or corrode the moving parts. It does not form sticky deposits on piston

It protects the moving parts against wear-forms a protective film that does not break down under the to three thousand degrees of heat experi enced at the upper end of the cylinder.

A mixture of Rapeseed Oil and mineral oil, or Castor Oil and mineral oil, can not function as well as a straight mineral lubricant, such as the NEW MOBILOIL for instance - AND the NEW MOBILOIL, like its deceased brother, Mobiloil, is not a by-product in the manufacture of benzine and kerosene.
