“ALONG GOOD WILL HIGHWAY’’ , r ST (W si ' Wr If 1 wMT Your Place is no place for waste! Make war on waste! Waste of power — waste of machinery—was&e of money —especially in your automobile, truck and i ITi. 'M < '4OOMMS'im ii To attack waste actively, think about the Sinclair Law of Lubrication: “For every machine, of every degree of '* wear, there is a scientific Sinclair Oil to suit its speed and seal its power.” You know that the more miles your car is driven, the more wear there is in the engine. You also know how many miles f your car or truck has been driven. Sinclair knows, by the mileage, the average wear there is in the engine and which of the several grades of Opaline Motor Oil is the right grade to seal its power. - The Sinclair dealer in your neighborhood will be glad to tell you the grade your engine needs now! Let him give you a copy of “Oiling”—Sinclair’s new helpbooklet for motorists, describing and illustrating this sound, common-sense method of motor oil recommendation. Sinclair.
