In the making and use of Calol Brand lu
bricating oils, chance and uncertainty are
eliminated. Years of experience with them
have established these oils in the confi
dence of industry and the marine trade.
That is why a majority of all the vessels
out of United States Pacific Coast ports,
both coastal and trans-Pacific, as well as
a large majority of the industrial plants,
—factories, canneries, mills, mines, hydro
electric plants, etc.,—in the Western
States, Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands,
use Calol lubricating oils year-in and year
out. And this use has proved beyond
question their uniform reliability and
satisfying efficiency.
Calol lubricating oils are available throughout
Alaska. For information about those which will
best fill your needs, or for details about any
phase of our Alaska service, ask any of our repre
sentatives, or write to our office in the Alaska
Building, Seattle, Washington, or your nearest
Standard Oil Station in Alaska.
There is a Calol lubricating oil scientifically de
termined for every marine and industrial need.
