He tunes up or overhauls your motor as required, and he does a good job. You gladly do without your car for the day that “Bill” has it because it comes back purring, eager and lively. But “Bill” must be paid. Being a skilled mechanic his charges are sizeable. If “Bill” is honest he will tell you that correct lubrication will cut down his charges very materially. He will tell you that most of the damage that he must repair is caused by the deadly work of friction. “Bill” can tell you how to minimize friction and lengthen the life of your engine. If he is interested in giving you real service he will tell you that the best way to get a maximum of service from your car is to use Polarine. The Polarine film will protect all the frictional surfaces of your car. There is a grade of Polarine made to give perfect lubrication in your car. When you fill the crank-case with that grade of Polarine, after thoroughly cleansing your motor with Polarine Flushing Oil, your engine trouble will be minimized. r i ; Polarine acts as a cushion, resilient, tough, resistant The Polarine film maintains its lubricating body. It never breaks down. It will enable you to get a maximum of mileage from your gasoline, it seals the pistons against the escape of power, and it prolongs the life e of your engine. Use more Polarine and you’ll u see less of “Bill”.
