world conditions have changed

World conditions have changed. For the first time in history, and not merely in one industry, but in all, the power of the nations to produce exceeds, and on a world-wide scale. the capacity of mankind to consume.' That means endless struggle among sellers, both manufacturers and merchants, and the time has come when active selling has to replace order- taking and "advertising."

Unfortunately, in the mad rush to create demand, many manufacturers of lubricating oil resort to the publication of misleading; not to say untruthful statements about the quality and service-ziving abilities of their lubricants. One outstanding uniruthful statement is just as good as Gargoyle Mobiloil at half the price." "This statement has fooled many a worthy individual into buying a practically useless lubricant, the use of which has resulted in unnecessary repairs and consequent waste of money.

So long as there are people who believe it possible to get something good and reliable for next to nothing, the demand for cheaper-in-quality, good looking lubricants will make it worth while for lubricating oil manufacturers to disregard quality.

Our advertisements, our letters and our statements are pioneers in the art of active selling-they can be believed, not only because we are here to stay but because we know that our business can not thrive unless we tell the truth and hold the confidence and goodwill of the motoring public.

Regardless of what competitors say, Gargoyle Mobiloil is the must economical and efficient motorcar engine lubricant. A trial is all that is necessary to prove this statement truthful,
