You’ll get mileage that tells you I've got a right to be called Your Mileage Merchant.” _ How hard is it for any known oil to squirm in amongst scores of close-fitting engine parts? It’s hard. Hence all Winter oil ads rightly tell you that even a worn, loosened-up engine needs extra fast oil-flow this season. Free-flowing Conoco Germ Processed oil holds records for speedy flow in any cold. And yet Conoco asks you earnestly: WHY BE SATISFIED WITH ANY FREE FLOW ALONE. WHEN YOU CAN JUST AS EASILY HAVE THE RE DOUBLED INSURANCE OF AN OIL-PLATED ENGINE? Only an OIL-PLATED engine is lubricated for every cold start in advance—whole hours and days before any mere free-flowing oil can do one single wiggle! Germ Process action on every working part creates OIL PLATING. It becomes a part of all surfaces. It cannot drain down. It stays up without interruption, forever ready to speed your starter and preserve your engine every inch of the way this Winter. Oil level stays up, too,once your Conoco Mileage Merchant puts in your correct Winter grade of Germ Processed oil. GERM PROCESSED OIL Write for “The Story of Oil-Plating”...
