AT THE TURN

The policeman at the corner says it is a real pleasure to watch some drivers as they round the turn. Many of them demonstrate that they are expert, careful and still reasonably fast. They show a nice judgment in getting their automobiles around bad corners safely. Anybody can turn a corner on two wheelsonce.

BIG PEOPLE-OR LITTLE

One thing the really big people of the world all have. It is poise. No matter what the emergency, they can meet it with a certain calm efficiency. And the same quality stands out when they drive a motor car; they cause no accidents because they always have their cars under perfect control. If they have a motto, it might be: "Control yourself and your car."

OIL COSTS REDUCED 50% WITH TRITON ! ORANGE COUNTY TRANSFER SAVES 4 WAYS WITH THIS PROPANE-SOLVENT REFINED OIL

MR. E. H. PETERKIN, manager of the Orange County Transfer, Brea, California, has used Triton exclusively in his seven trucks since December 1934. These trucks are in constant operation and are required to give maximum performance over long hauls.

Mr. Peterkin says, “It gives me a great deal of pleasure to look over my operating records and see that since changing to Triton I have reduced my oil costs 50%. Where formerly I was getting 100 miles to the quart of oil, I now get from 200 to 250 miles. It's a very satisfying feeling, too, to know that when I send my trucks out on a hard job or a long trip they will come back with the rings, valves and bearings in excellent condition.” Thousands of other Pacific Coast truck operators have found that Triton-cuts operating costs four ways...saves carbon scrapes...saves gasoline...saves motor repairs...saves oil drains.

The reason: Triton is 100% Pure Paraffin Base... Propane-Solvent refined... free from harmful carbon and sludgeforming materials. It is a safe, full-bodied lubricant long after many oils are worn out. You can run Triton longer with safety! Next time you buy oil-Try Triton!
