THE STANDARD GALLON

The Standard-gallon_measure in this Colony is the British imperial gallon of 9 ibs. Messrs. C. C. Wakefield & Co., Ltd., being a purely British concern sell their Castrol and other lubricating oils by the imperial gallon but other oil Companies have adopted the wine or American gallon of 7/8 lbs. There is a difference of about 20% in the quantities. Demand the standard gallon or a refund in respect of any less quantity supplied.

Castrol gives you the correct quality and quantity.

The two American vessels, the Lexington and Saratoga, slone. have involved an outlay of little short of £20,000,000, while the six British carriers, Glorions. Courageous, Furious, Engic. Hermes, and Argus have been a heavy drain on our Naval Eati- mates.
