Winning the Race
I. -f .*
Louis Disbrow, who has secured every world’s record for au-
tomobile racing up to fifty miles on dirt tracks, demands of the pro-
ducts which he uses quality and service capable of withstanding
the most severe treatment. f
Disbrow says himself that the class of racing he does is partic-
P “krty hard on the motor, owing to the dust which comes in through
the carburetor and gets into the cylinders.
I For THREE YEARS Disbrow has used
TEXACO MOTOR OIL
and
TEXACO GASOLINE
with the exception of two months when he didn’t have them.
In nearly three years he had not ground a valve, taken up a
bearing or,removed carbon from" the motor!
