don't let this
HAPPEN TO YOU
CTRANDED five miles from nowhere be-
• cause the oil wouldn't do its job! Has
that happened to you? If it has, the chances
are that you were not particular the last time
you had the crankcase drained — or perhaps
you ran too long without changing the oil.
This will be a slack summer for service cars if ,
motorists will remember two things: first, to
change oil regularly, and secondly, to use only
a brand of oil which they know from their own
experience or the experience of others will
stand up under the most trying conditions of
motor operation.
You can depend upon any oil which has the backing
of the Continental Oil Company. These are the
brands which have been tried and tested in the
laboratory and on the road. They lubricate thor-
oughly, protect every moving part and stand up
under intense heat.
Ask for these brands at leading service stations and
garages.
