OMART builders of smart ships, those hardy settlers along ?
^ the Atlantic Coast just after the Revolution. Many a time
their sharp-built barks and brigantines showed their heels to
the Mediterranean blockade and carried American goods into ' I
Marseilles. And one ingenious device for getting a knot or
I two of extra speed was the greasing of the vessel's bottom. So
while the friction of the water held back their pursuers, they I1
slipped onward to safety.
Friction is always a drag against progress, especially in the
case of motor cars and trucks. For years this company has
been aiming at the conquest of friction by means of a lubri- I ?
I eating oil scientifically designed. We have been successful.
Ask for Polarine, the "Standard" oil for motor lubrication? I ?
not just "a quart of oil." II
