nice rain we had." The grain was
up to a good stand and with the
rain that has fallen a good win-

plenty of grazing and by spring
sheep and cattle will be in fine
shape for the spring market. Stock
water is still short but of course
we can't have everything just
right, but if we have faith and

thing in His hand, He will not
forsake us.

Some few are selling turkeys to-

How OIL-PLATING fights them for your engine’s sake
Try this Two-Eye Test the next time you
start your cold car. Keep one eye on the heat
indicator and one on your timepiece. Then
try to be patient for 1 minute — 2 minutes
— 3 minutes ... till the heat indicator barely
creeps up. Does it really get anywhere in less
than 6 or 8 minutes? Now just multiply that
by half-a-dozen to a dozen daily cold starts
throughout the Winter .. . and it opens your
eyes to the plain truth that your total Winter
warm-ups can lengthen out to something like
90 hours — conservatively.
During all those shivery 90 hours where’s
your lubrication? Is it down in the crankcase
snoozing? Is it waiting for a shove from the
oil-pump? Not if your engine’s OIL-PLATED.
Not if you’ve changed to patented Conoco
Germ Processed oil that attaches to inner en-
gine surfaces and stays on like all fine plating.
That’s your OIL-PLATING, which positively
cannot drain down whenever your engine stops.
Therefore when you start up, OIL-PLATING
positively cannot permit your cold engine to
suffer any oiling delay whatever. No waiting
for lubricant to get up, because OIL-PLATING
always stays up.
So does your battery stay up, with every
start smoothly speeded by slippy OIL-PLAT-
ING. Your oil-level, too, stays up when you
change to Your Mileage Merchant’s Conoco
station for patented Germ Processed oil.
Change from 90 hours of dire danger to the
understandable safety of OIL-PLATING. Con-
tinental Oil Company
