always seems to meet an unwarranted amount of sales resistance. Motorists, being human, are influenced to an extent by the claims of JUST AS GOOD, and, being eager to save money, a lesser outlay to buy has a strong appeal..

But one does not have to think very deep to realize that higher quality comes through the use of better materials, more scientific processes, greater skill, more infinite care in the making. An oil can he made poorly or can be made well, depending upon the standard desired, and the ability of the maker. Nothing is easier than to make a cheap lubricating oil. There are many factors pertaining to the making of an oil that can easily be regulated in the degree of fineness. Some of these factors are technical. They are not always __visible_to_the_eye. Often they are beneath the surface. Some of them are selentific. Not all motorcar owners understand them. Only the actual experience of using the oil reveals the difference in character of service.

Little do some motorcar owners realize, at the time of purchasing the cheaper lubricating oil, that service is the actual motive of the purchase; that service, in all of its angles, is what measures the true cost; that price to buy and cost to use are not one and the same, but are two absolutely different subjects. Lubricants, like individuals, vary in their capability - some accom- plish far more than others and are worth more. The price of Gargoyle Mobiloil is not a penalty but rather an opportunity. Its use guarantees cash savings through the character and extent of service it delivers.

The 'successful use by the Ford Motor Company of the conveyor system in loading ships with auto- mobile parts has led many shipping. men to reverse previous opinions an to the practicability of this proceduro. When the system was Installed at the Chester, Pennsyl- vanin, export dock, many skeptical opinions were frankly expressed. Proper stowage could not be ob tained, it was said. Since then, however, some have been heard to declare that the new Ford process has revolutionized several phases of ship loading.
