town of Wrangell at a special elec
tion which has been called for the
first Tuesday in September.

one of the best in years, according
to D. W. Branch, manager for Libby,

days ago in Ketchikan to determine

RED CROWN
Jos oftogeles*Camp Curry
YOSEMITE
ECONOMY MJN
The major event on the motoring calendar of the Pacific
Coast is the Los Angeles-Camp Curry (Yosemite) Economy
Run, which was run this year, May 16-17.
Fourteen cars fiercely contested for “nose, place and show”
over 414 miles of the most strenuous valley and mountain course
that could be laid out.
“Red Crown” was the gasoline
used exclusively by all cars, and
Zerolene was the motor oil used by
six of the winners—expert recog
nition of the merit and quality of
these two Standard Oil products.
aZerolene Brings In Six of the
Seven Trophies
Six of the seven cars winning
trophies in the Los Angeles-Camp
Curry (Yosemite) Economy Run
used Zerolene. In published state
ments the highest tributes were
paid to Zerolene for such factors
as its low rate of consumption, its
high heat-resistance and conser
t, vation of power by every one of
the drivers of these winning cars.
So, for oil, when the Zerolene
lubricated cars won six out of sev
; ‘ en trophies, won’t it pay you to use
Zerolene — a better oil—even if it
does cost less?
29.36 Miles per Gallon of
"Red Crown”
For the eighth consecutive year
“Red Crown” was the only gaso
line used in this sensational power
and mileage test. The reason for
this unanimous choice is shown
by the remarkable records made
for this strenuous mountain run —
29.36 miles for the winner of the
light-weight class and 14.16 miles
to the gallon for the winner in the
heaviest class.
Since the motor fuel was exactly
the same gasoline as the public
uses —is there any reason why
“Red Crown” won’t develop more
power and better mileage in your
car as well?
