How to Judge Gasoline Quality
In cold weather you can easily get a line on gaso
line quality. If you have starting trouble, if you have
to feed in a rich mixture, if carbon accumulates quickly,
you have pretty good indications that there's something
wrong with your gasoline.
Red Crown Gasoline vaporizes readily at all tem
peratures. It ignites instantly and burns up completely.
It is straight-distilled gasoline that meets all U. S. Gov
ernment specifications for motor gasoline.
Red Crown Gasoline does not vary. It is as unir
formly high grade as the most modern processes of re
fining can make it. Vl''
Authorized Red Crown Dealers, Everywhere
Wherever you go you can always get Red Crown Gasoline
from reliable, competent and obliging dealers. The gasoline
and motor oils they sell make motor operation more pleasant,
more economical and more dependable. Drive in where you
see the Red Crown Sign.

inff Oil Cost You Each Year?,;
to
Automotive engineers say that oil of
the wrong body, failure to replace old
oil with fresh oil and neglecting to keep
oil up to the proper level cause fully 90
percent of all automobile engine repair
bills. So the real cost of lubricating oil
is determined by your repair bills.
Oil of the highest quality and cor
rect body is the truest economy. It
protects moving parts against wear and
prevents bearings burning out. It keeps
compression tight and assures maxi
mum pover and mileage from every,
gallon of fuel.
Folarine is the most perfect motor
oil we know of. It maintains a protect
ing oil film in the closest fitting bear
ings and a fuel-tight and gas-tight oil
seal between the piston rings and cylin
der walls.
Polarine is made in four grades light,
medium heavy, heavy and extra heavy but
only one quality. Get the proper grade for
your car next time by referring to Polarine
chart at our Service Stations or dealers and
you will start cutting down motoring costs. (
