REMINDER

We find that it is not yet generally known that Wakefield Castrol Motor oils are sold by the Imperial gallon of 9 lbs. whereas other oil Companies have adopted the American or wine gallon of 71⁄2/8 lbs. There is a difference of approximately 20% in the quantities and this should not be overlooked when comparing prices. Messrs. Wakefield-being a purely British concern- naturally do not wish to use any other than the Imperial gallon which is, after all, the legal measure in the Colony and they trust their attitude will have the support of the motoring public.

Castrol gives you the correct quality and quantity.
