“I never did believe what Conoco Germ
Processed oil would do; not until an
Essex owner, with 25,000 miles on his
speedometer, asked me to check his motor
and put in new parts where necessary. It
surely surprised me; clearance of pistons
was only four 1> thousandths; of bearings
only three I-thousandths of an inch.
REPORTS ON DISCOVERY:
“This owner said he had used Conoco Germ
1 Processed oil since the car was new. I have
overhauled many another Essex at 25,000
miles, which has not used this oil, and found
the wear 50% to 60% greater. Now I
recommend Conoco Germ Processed Oil to
my friends, and have changed to it in my
own car.”—Elder Schaffncr, Highland, III.

LET’S NOT FORGET THIS
The revelation that Samuel Insull
and members of his family were able
to make a paper profit of $25,000,-
000 on a single transaction in one of
the Insull investment trusts is a hit
of news that ought to be engraved on
stone somewhere and preserved for
reference after the depression is over.
Right now it has an unreal, other-
worldly sound. Nobody is making
profits like that these days, on paper
or otherwise. It is a little bit hard |
to remember that there actually was i
a time when such things did happen, j
But it wasn’t so long ago, after all 1
—only a matter of four years. With j
any kind of luck, another four years i
will bring us to a point where such j
things once more are possible. And j
when that glad day comes we ought j
to consult the stone tablet, do a little j
thinking, and see to it that such
shenanigans are prohibited.
Some economists have asserted that
the country isn’t really sick now. The
real sickness, they say, came in the
years just before the stock market
crash of 1929. This news about Insull
sems to support that view.
The general mass of people in this
country have never quarreled greatly
with the theory that it is necessary to
hang up very large rewards for
achievement in the world of business
and industry If a man serves capably
| in that world, we have always felt
I that it was only fair that he he paid
j accordingly.
j But a stunt of this kind is some-
! thing else again. In view of what has
J happened to the Insull holdings—and

To a motor, lack of lubrication is
cruelty indeed. You are too “humane”
to permit it, if only you knew the truth.
Rut motors suffer in silence till costly
damage is done. Then you pay ... and
pay . . . and pay.
50% of motor wear occurs in the
moments following a cold start. Ordi-
nary oil drains back into the crankcase
and leaves the motor dry, till it is
pumped back up again. Not so, with
Conoco's hidden quart. It stays up in
the motor and never drains away.
This is proved. Even with the crank-
case empty, due to accident, users of
this oil have driven many miles,
without damage, on the *hidden quart
alone.
Isn’t it smart and thrifty to have
a *hidden quart up in the parts of
your motor, where you are sure it
cannot fail? It is so simple to be safe!
so foolhardy to be in doubt. Tend to
it today. Go now, drain and refill
with the *hidden-quart oil. Do it for
safety’s sake.

to the Insull investors—since those
bright days of 1929, it is a little hard
to assert that Insull’s services to the
public put him in line for any very
overwhelming reward. This simple
twist of the wrist by which a few in-
siders profited $25,000,000 on the flo-
tation of a new security issue is not
the sort of thing that belongs in any
sound economic order.
Well, it happened. It happened in a
good many places during the boom
years. And we’re paying for it right
now. No matter how soon we get
back on the path of prosperity, we
ought to make up our minds that get-
rich-quick tricks like his are out, from
now on.—Ex.
