BRITISH EMPIRE FAIR.

The success or failure of this Fair depends upon the individual action taken by the local British community. If we buy wisely our example will be followed by others. Wakefield Castrol motor oils and industrial lubricants are competitive in price, incomparable in quality, and every drop of oil imported into this Colony is manufac- tured in the United Kingdom. The oil sold here is exactly the same as that used in the innumerable · achievements standing to the credit of these aristocratic lubricants.
