You want an eyeful of 1946 style.... And you’re
taking in many an earful on chassis features....
And you can have an Oil-Plated engine—a
wear-fighter I—by simply saying a mouthful.
Just say you want Conoco Nth motor oil—
because you want minimum carbon and sludge,
plus fat mileage. Those gains depend largely
on wear-resistance, and that’s exactly what
Oil-Plating is for. Here is how it works . ..'
T'm
MOTOR OIL
OIL-PLATES
YOUR ENGINE
In any make of new car—or equally well in
your old car—Oil-Plating will, make an addi-
tion to inner engine surfaces. That’s where it’s
• fastened-durably—across the path of wear—by
Qonoco oil’s magnet-like action. This power
to Oil-Plate and protect comes from the added
Conoco ingredient. It will add to the safety^
of your new car investment. ... It will add to
your veteran car’s chances!. . . And the cost it
adds is a few cents! Get Conoco oil—from
Your Conoco Mileage Merchant. Continental
