To help our boys fight all three of these enemies, Sinclair produces great quanti ties of tough, dependable aviation iubri cants. Every day, Sinclair refineries turn out enough aviation oils to lubricate a flight of 3,500 heavy American bombers. Today Sinclair is not only one of the largest producers of aviation lubricants, but its modern refineries also make the ex plosive Toluene, 100-octane gasoline and many other types of fuels and specialized lubricants for war-front and home-front use. Altogether, there are 10 modern Sinclair refineries serving this nation and its allies. SINCLAIR DEALERS fight fric tion on the home front. Their Sinclair-tee service helps make cars last longer.
