SPECIAL LUBRICATION for
PLANTATION TRACTORS
jjecause of the heavy type of work, the steady pull, pull, pull,
hour after hour that the engine of the Tractor has to ac
complish, an unusually large quantity of oil is required.
For economy's sake this lubricant must be at one of a high qual
ity and comparatively low cost.
We have such an oil in our
Sea Lion
Motor Oil
This oil, the product of one of thn largo oil manufac
turers, is a special combination to moot the special require
ments of tractor lubrication.
In fact, it is made up to the specification of the Holt Trac
tor Manufacturing Company, for use in their own as well as
other tractors.
We have this oil stocked in barrels only at these prices.
Prices: Med. 55c, Heavy 60c,
Special Tractor, 70c gal.
Figure the Cost:
Plantation bookkeepers have the costs of doing business in
the various departments of their concerns all down in black
and white:
This crop costs so much to plant, so much to harvest, so
much to grind. The profit is known.
We wonder sometimes if they arc as keen on keeping the
costs of the general overhead: the motor expense, for
instance.
We would like to go into that phase with the proper execu
tive of every plantation, either by personal letter or by call.
We specialize in Tires and Accessories for Commercial motor
cars and gas engines.
