Show EKIKEHS FAVDR USE OFflMO OILS Quality and Uniformity Are More Important Than Price, Says Culmer. Purchasing agents are becoming more and more popular with every big and growing concern. Because of their training and skill they can often save their firm thousands of dollars annually annual-ly by shrewd buying. However, in the case of lubricating oils, they are very apt to cause their own undoing and cause heavy loss to their firm unless they happen to be experienced ex-perienced engineers and familiar with tho various lubricants in general use for various purposes. The purchasing agent who is not posted may easily be imposed upon in his zeal to drive a bargain and secure a low priced oil and the few cents per gallon he may shave off the price may be the cause of heavy losses .through poorlv working machinery, friction, worn" parts, loss of time, etc., which invariably in-variably results where false economy is used in so important a matter as the lubrication of large machinery. Not one man in 10,000 can intelligent! intelli-gent! v pass upon an oil. Color is deceptive, de-ceptive, viscosity by no means conclusive conclu-sive evidence of good oil, as an oil may show splendid viscosity at certain temperature tem-perature and fall down miserably under working conditions. The only safe rule for the novice to adopt is to buy only oils of a reputable house and which have established reputation, repu-tation, and for that reason engineers who know from erperience the quality and uniformity of the Culco line first specifv Culco oils and then state which particular oil they desire for the various uses to which it is put. Just now orders are pouring in from all over the intermountain country for Culco oils for spring delivery. Gas engine, en-gine, steam engine, castor machine, tractor and automobile oils are in heavy demand. |
