HERE IS SOMETHING THAT MAY INTEREST YOU

Why do you buy one' make of motorcar rather than, another? Why do you draw up beside a Alling station which is painted red rather than orfe which is painted yellow? Why do you buy the tooth pasta you are using -what do yoù know about its rolative merit compared with other tooth pasten-do you know if it lina, beyond 'a pleasant taste, any merit at all? Is this enke of soap. roally going to give you a school girl complexion? How can you tell what type of electric refrigerator la technically the beat within the range of what you can afford to pay; or vacuum cleaner, or electric washer, or radio get?

One who goes into the market to buy motorcar engine oil is naturally confused. He hon read the worda BEST and GREATEST so often that they have ceased to ho con- vincing. Where all is best he, reflects, there can be no best. The poorest · quality lubrienting oil has been described to him in ten thousand dollar language. And vice versa. He finds himself. the target in a war of adjectives, the helpless victim in a gigantle competition of words. And so he is forced to rely on chance-the advice of-friends-or-his-own-limited-experience:-----

As we are all Alices in a Wonderland of conflicting claims, bright promises, fancy packages and soaring words it would certainly seem that when buying motor- car engine lubricating oil, the safest course to follow is the one indicated by wall over six hundred of the world's leading motorcar makers, for it is quita true that they all either approve or recommend Gargoyle Mobiloil-the oil made by the oldest and Inrgest lubricat- ing of manufacturer, the
