A lack of preparedness in marketing

Beauty is only skin deep, so is color

If you don't square the contents of

Packard Agent Recommends Western 

 Motor Oil 



"We made a careful oil test covering 

 eight months, using two eastern oils, 

 and a western oil made from asphalt- 

 base crude," said C. L. Ross, manager of 

 the Pacific Car Co., of Tacoma, agents 

 for the Packard. "In spite of the fact 

 that the Packard carrying the western 

 oil was driven ."iOOO miles more than the 

 other two cars, it showed less wear on 

 clyinder walls, rings, jiistons and motor 

 bearings, with practically no carbon. 

 On the other hand, both of the cars car- 

 rying eastern oil had large carbon de- 

 posits. There's no (piestion in my mind 

 about the superior quality of western 

 oil. especially in the present-day high- 

 speed motors with their close-Iitting 

 pistons. Freedom from piston drag, and 

 freedom from carbon are highly essen- 

 tial in the operation of these motors. 

 and western oil gives Just the results 

 needed."
