Putting the Car in Commission 



When you put your car "in commission." you 

 want it to "stay put." Good lubrication is al- 

 most the first requirement. Avoidance of car- 

 bon deposits is of prime necessity. Both are 

 accomplished by the use of ZEROLENE.thenew 

 friction-proof, trouble proof, carbon-proof oil. 

 This oilis produced in only one place in theworld. 



ZERDUNE 



Auto-Lubricating Oil 



is madeinonlvone grade. This one grade works 

 ; perfectly in every type of gasoline engine, in 

 both summer and winter. Leaves practically 

 no carbon deposit, and keeps cylinders and 

 spark plugs clean. 



Sealed cans with non-refilling spout protect 

 against substitution of inferior oils. Also put up 

 in barrels for garage trade. Sold by dealers 

 everywhere.
