The Ford car costs so little and is such ? . a glutton for punishment that many people thinlc any kind of oil is good enough for it. ? We know one town where Ford owners buy second-hand oil drained from " crank cases of a trucking company. The Ford will run on most anything that passes for oil, but it will run longer, more quietly, and more cheaply if lubricated with oil made especially for its engine and transmission. The best oil of tlx (.it class is STAN DARD Motor oil. STANDARD OIL COMPANY (N?v her#y) BOY ADMITS KIM.INC Two Others implicated in Slaying 01 School Superintendent Macon, CUi., March s.
