With a Low, Even Hum
Motors lubricated with Polarine run easily smoothly quietly.
Polarine is not an ordinary lubricant. It is made from selected
crude oil by processes that have taken many years to perfect.
Standard conditions keep its unexcelled quality uniform.
To meet the requirements of all makes of cars and trucks,
Polarine is made in four grades, differing in body but not in
quality. These grades are
Polarine Polarine Heavy
Polarine Medium Heavy Polarine Extra Heavy
For winter use the Polarine and Polarine Medium Heavy
grades are recommended.
Imperfect compression is a costly source of lost power. It is
only one of the many bad results of using low grade motor
oils. Preserve the life of every moving motor part by using
Polarine regularly.
Get all the satisfaction you expected out of your car by using
Red Crown gasoline. With Polarine, it makes possible the
finest performance of which your car is capable always.
