PURCHASES THE
PATHFINDER
In the future the destiny of the Al
aska Pathfinder will be guided by J.
E. Meals, of Anchorage, who announc
es he has taken over the publication,
and will have his first issue off the
press July 15.
Under the personal guidance of Mr. j
Meals, the pioneer magazine of the
Northland should blossom forth suc
cessfully. Mr. Meals knows his Al
aska, having spent the greater portion
of his life in this district. As a writer
he displays natural ability far above
the average. He has been office man
ager for the Anchorage Brown and
Hawkins Corporation store for a num
ber of years; is secretary and treasur
er of the Chamber of Commerce; one
of the officials of the Anchorage Fail
Association; is interested in several
mining ventures; is president of the
Territorial Accountancy Board; and is
a keen student of Alaskan affairs.
One of the features of the publica
tion under Mr. Meals’ administration,
will be the press service on fur prices
in the New- York, St. Louis and Seattle
markets, dated the day the magazine
comes off the press. For the farm
ing department of the magazine, one
r
of the Territory’s most noted authori
ties has consented to act as head.
Arrangements have been made with
several other prominent Alaska writ
ers and journalists for regular contri
butions.

PROOF
OF A BETTER OIL
The function of a lubricant is to
reduce fridaon and thus increase
the effective power of the engine.
The best proof that Zerolene does
this to a superlative degree is found
in the facft that the Zeroleriedubri'
cated automobile or motor'boat has
more driving power; it averages 5%
more gasoline mileage than when
other oils are used.
One good test of the purity and
stability of a motor oil is the amount,
of carbon it forms. Zerolene forms
less carbon than any other motor oil
\nown to us. That is why the Zero
lene-lubricated automobile or mo
tor-boat may be driven from 25%
to 50% farther without having the
valves ground or the cylinders re
bored.
Truly, you can buy no better oil
than Zerolene.- Ask for it by name
—Zerolene.
