I SUPREME AUTO OIL I 
FLOWS FREELY AT ZERO 
T his is most important during the Winter months. M 
You should know whether the oil you are using M 
“flows freely at Zero.” All oils do not possess this | 
feature—notably the paraffine base oils, which thicken up | 
under cold, and often cause great damage to the motor. M 
The safe way is to ask for SUPREME AUTO OIL—it “flows g 
freely at Zero,” and leaves no carbon, owing to the fact that it g 
is a Southern Asphalt-hase oil, containing no paraffine to gum, s 
stick or thicken. g

CROKER

Fire Chief 
Croker built him¬ 
self a house down 
on Long Island. 
When his guests 
were assembled at 
dinner, he told 
them the next room 
was afire. 
“But don’t worry,” said Croker. “I shut the door.” 
It was a test to prove the absolute safety of the fireproof house

NATCO • HOLLOW • TILE 
A veteran fireman knows houses as a doctor knows anatomy. 
You can’t fool him on construction. Fie has had to rip it apart too 
often in the search for the hidden spark. 
Grosvenor Atterbury, the famous architect, says “Natco is an 
ideal construction material.” 
Why? Because Natco construction means permanent, strong, 
solid walls, partitions and floors, everlastingly fireproof. 
Because Natco construction is cheaper than brick or concrete, 
and while more expensive than frame, the resulting economies in 
maintenance and insurance will in the course of a few years offset 
this initial increased outlay. 
Because the Natco wall means lower coal bills, more comfort, no vermin, 
no dampness—a single thickness of the big hollow tile with stucco outside 
and plaster inside, and your modern and efficient wall is complete. 
Want to know more about Natco? 
Ask your architect—he knows. Or 
send us ten cents for 32-page hand¬ 
book, “Fireproof Houses,’’ with 2S 
illustrations of modern and artistic 
homes, combining economy, comfort 
and safety.
