When you start your motor Winter or Summer instantly a coat ing of good cylinder oil is needed to seal the crevises between the piston rings and the cylinder walls, to retain the compression and lubricate the parts. When a good oil is used, more power is de veloped, as the film of oil which shuts the space between the rings and the cylinders must be such as to keep in the exploded gas, so no loss of power occurs at each explosion. PENNZOIL Manufactured by the most scientific mode and with the most care ful operation which long experience can command, makes use of this excellent lubricant, an insurance that your motor ! will have a lair chance in the fight to develop power, to care for itself and to prevent wear and not allow heating in any parts. You can feel safe when you use Pennzoil, for it WILL protect your motor. The lowest priced and most reliable insurance in the long run. SOLD BY Hehawka Farmers Oil Company R. C.
