This Machine Shows Why this New Oil Cuts Motor Wear and Saves You Money! YOU as a buyer of Motor Oil should ask that question demand facts! Here is Continental’s answer: In the demonstration pictured below the film strength nd oillness of every well known motor oil in America have been shown to be increased by the addition of a drop of Germ Essence Demonstrations before at least two hundred thousand men have proved that “Any oil would be better oil if Germ Processed!” But there is only one oil made by the patented Germ Process — New and Improved Germ Processed Motor Oil! Use this oil of proved strength in your car! It saves you money by giving greater motor protection and lower oil consumption It gives you the comfortable feeling that you know your car is protected by the safest finest motor oil made!
