THE PRICE-SAVING in a cheap lubricating oil gives the motorcar owner a joyous feeling ONCE at the time of purchase; but it usually ruins bis sunny spirit every time he uses it. In buying lubricating oil, no one intentionally desires to sacrifice his future satisfaction, but there are many motorists who are unable to resist the temptation of low prices, especially when the oll, insofar as the naked eye can see, looks as good as the one that

sells for a little bit more.

But just as actions speak louder than words, so does experience speak louder than theory; and, in proof of the fact that cheapness is a waste of money and, on the other hand, that quality is an actual saving of money, one need only consult his own experience in the use of articles of various kinds. No one enn evade paying quality's price, due to the repeatedly proven fact that quality saves in service, while cheapness loses in service; and the net difference in the end reveals the absolute economy of quality. It costs more to buy, but it refunds several times the difference through greater values rendered in service.

Quality at the higher price is the real bargain- it represents the real economy. It gives the motorcar owner-the-sum-total-of-his-expectations in results. Quality, of course, varies in its degree- just as heat varies, light varies, or weight varies. Every lubricating oll possesses quality in varying degrees. The seller of the cheaper lubricating oil may speak the truth when he says his oil possesses quality but it is the degree of that quality which counts. It is a well-known, fact that once a motor- car owner experiences the benefits of Gargoyle Mobiloil, he becomes a firm convert; for he then sees the evidence through use that Gargoyle Mobiloll enables him to economize and at the same time enjoy.

CHRYSLER "70":"77"

There's something in Chrysler performance

Chrysler engineers designed the engines of the "70" and "77" 60. they develop more horsepower per cubic inch of piston displace ment and deliver through the Multi-Range four-speed transmis slon more horsepower to the rear axle...

addition you have in these Chryslers the safety of internal- expanding weatherproof 4-wheel hydraulic brakes-the better riding qualities of new, luxurious bodies.

These bodies are cradled from road shocks by a new type of self-equalising spring suspension and rubber spring shackles, as well as by hydraulic shock absorbers of the most advanced design.

All in all, in addition to having a car endowed with the utmost in performance, the owner of a new Multi-Range Chrysler is inspired with a confidence and pride of ownership that only a Chrysler can give..
