Oil wouldn’t be oil if it weren’t slippery;
Ordinarily it slips off the job as soon as
you stop. After you park half a night—or
even half a morning—where’s your lubri-
cation? Down in the crankcase. And
before it gets back up in the motor, these
colder days, your eogine wears fully
twice as fast as any other time.
This winter skip all that double-quick
destruction. Change to Conoco Germ
Processed Oil, known to bond itself di-
rect to every engine part. It forms what
millions know as “the Hidden Quart that
never drains away.” For Germ Processed
Oil actually becomes a part of all surfaces
that used to scrape, drag, rub and clatter;
When it comes to something extra-
difficult, like lubricating the new copper-
lead, high-lead, and cadmium-alloy bear-
ings, Conoco Germ Processed Oil more
than ever surpasses plain mineral oils.
Merciless road tests have proved this
again and again.
Only an oil that can beat the starter
with advance lubrication, like patented
Germ Processed Oil, will save you the
engine wear, battery juice, and other win-
ter grief that you’ll save by seeing your
Conoco man today. Continental Oil
Company, Established 1875.

sures you of the Hidden Quart
