NY number of people who read this advertise- ment are representatives of companies which market assortments of products of all description.

They all know the reason for giving a product a name, and they are always on the alert lest someone trade on the reputa- tion of one of their brands; either by actually using the brand name or through intimating that their brand is practically the

same.

We have spent huge sums establishing brand names- Gargoyle Mobiloil, for instance only to have unscrupulous vendors of lubricating oil Intimate that their “A." "B" or "BB" brand is the same as Gargoyle Mobiloil “A” or Gargoyle MobBoil "B" or Gargoyle Mobiloil "BB," even though the prices asked are much less than it actually costs us to manufacture our specialties.

May we respectfully request the motoring public to ask for our specialties by brand nume, "Give me a gallon of "A"" means nothing, but "Give me a gallon of Gargoyle Mobiloll 'A'" means everything. A lubricating oil dealer dare not sell an inferior lubricant as Gargoyle Mobiloil.

Gargoyle Mobiloil is the best protection against wear, and as Gargoyle Mobiloil is used by three out of every four motorcar owners, it is perfectly natural that some oll dealers endeavouž to trade on its reputation.
