IS AN UPPER CYLINDER LUBRICANT NECESSARY ?

Practically every mail from Home brings to us fresh evidence from our Principals, Messrs. C. C. Wakefield & Co., Ltd., that an Upper Cylinder Lubricant is no longer regarded as a luxury but is becoming an acknowledged necessity amongst conscientious motorists, aviators, and mechanical engineers.

Messrs. Wakefield after exhaustive tests have produced Castrollo, an Upper Cylinder. Lubricant that reduces carbon formation, friction, wear and petrol consumption.

A quart tin of Castrollo costs only $5.00 and contains sufficient oil to treat 160 gallons of fuel which is a little over 3 cents a gallon. The cap on the tin is a half oz. measure for two gallons of petrol.

The evidence above referred to is available for inspection here and consists of testimonials from ordinary, motorists, racing experts, aviators, and big concerns such as Messrs. Henlys Ltd., The Eastern Greyhound and "The Pennsylvania Groybound Omnibus Services controlling eighteen fleets totalling 650 vehicles, al reporting when using Castrollo an increase in petrol mileage," reduced carbon f rmation, prevention of sticky valves, reduced valve grinding and reduced running time on engines after overhau]).

Castrollo is stocked by The Peak Garage, Dodwell Motor Service Station, Duro Motor Co., South China Motor Car Co., East Point Garage, Hongkong M.tor Accessory, Alex. Rose & Co., Nathan Road Garage, Sincere Co., Ltd., etc., but if you have any trouble in getting supplies please give us a ring (21746) and we will give immediate attention to your requirements,

The Chungshan Highway is the main thoroughfare connecting Canton, Whompon, Shek Pai and its adjacent villages Numerous pedestrains, cara and buses use it. Hence the question as to the safety or otherwise of the various bridges importance to the public, and the. along this highway are of great convenience of communication and traffic largely depends upon it.
