THE greatest qualities of men and things do frequently surpass our definition. But they are none the less unmistakable. The rare excellence of Peter Dawson Whisky (guaranteed pre-war quality) is not to be crystallised in words, but the wide acceptance of Peter Dawson among connoisseurs is ample evidence of its existence. Drink and know the excellence that is beyond definition.

ACHIEVEMENT

("Action's speak louder than words")

1931

CASTROL

has more achievements to its credit on the highway, the byway, the airway and the fairway than all other oils combined. That is one of the reasons why it is claimed to be the best obtainable lubricating oil.

The name Castrol is honoured-it is a motoring tradition. It is the product of an All-British Firm not connooted in any way with any Trust or Corporation.

Although Castrol is the aristocrat of lubricating oils it is sold at the same price as ordinary motor oils.
