But if you want to
win on your Spring
change of engine
oil, go clean past
those old favorites,
Drain and Refill.
Out with your messy Winter oil—today—before a
bearing or something’s half shot. Then beat old-type
oil changes by changing to an oil-plated engine—
the modem Spring change you get with Conoco Germ
Processed oil.
This patented oil includes a rare man-made extra
substance that sets up a strong "power of attraction,"
which oil-plates a sheet of lasting lubricant direct
to engine parts. Close-knit oil-plating can’t drain
completely dry .. . not all night at a standstill...
not all day at double-quick ... never while you’re
using Germ Processed oil. Hence no bone-dry start
ing, nor fine-fitting parts rubbing dry at speed.
That’s how an oil-pi.ated engine gets a real chance
to ki op its fine fit. . . and to keep going extra miles
per quart. Get your correct Germ Processed oil for

NEW MARKET
RIGHT HERE FOR
OLDSMOBILES
*
Oldsmobile gives dealers today a complete
line of c rs to sell — cars in every price
class but high. And, of course, Olds’ biggest
seller is priced right down in the low
price field. That means a great, wide,
productive market not only in town, but
in the surrounding territory. (One new
dealer sold seven of his first nine Olds
mobiles to farmers.) If you would like to
become the Olds dealer for this locality,
the door is wide open. The kind of
man we’re looking for may be a garage
owner, an implement dealer, a coal and
lumber dealer or a hay and feed merchant.
Perhaps he can take on Oldsmobile in
addition to his regular line. Automobile
experience is desirable but not necessary
— simply a good business record, plus
a very modest capital investment. Why
not investigate this unusual opportunity
today? Just write to the address below.
