Colorado is as big as ail New England, with Indiana added; two-thirds is moun tainous 100,000 square miles contain 155 peaks that are more than 13,000 feet in height. Within the state there are 500 lakes large and small; 6,000 miles of running water. Mineral springs abound no one knows how many there are. Every railroad line is an excursion line; motor highways radiate in all direc tions, -t 'Obviously, in such a region, va cation possibilities are unlimited. Here, whatever your age, or means, or preferences, you'll find your va cation "as you like it." loTORS are sturdy in construction. They can stand pretty rough hand ling and still deliver highly satisfactory service. But they can t stand up to their work if lubrication is faulty. Careless and imcrooer lubrication ruins manv motors Ions before they should show any loss of efficiency. It is sheer folly to pull up to a garage and ask for a "quart of oil." Buying oil that way you often get low grade oil that can't give your motor proper lubrication; Ask for Polarine and you get the best protection against the annoyance and expense of motor troubles that money can buy. For many years it has been y saving motorists uncounted thousands of dollars that would otherwise have been spent for preventable repairs. Polarine is sold in five grades light, medium, heavy, special heavy and extra heavy one standardized, unsurpassed quality. Consult the Polarine Chart and buy the grade of Polarine that has been proved most suitable for your motor. Buy gasoline and motor oils where you see this sign and you buy motoring economy and satisfaction. STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF NEBRASKA Irs & hi m 'SPk 1 1 a essitiSLESSL - flf - - . 3L Where to go ?
