1. Plates. Plates are the most important element ot a storage
battery. "Prest-OPlates" for Prest-O-Lite batteries are made
from a secret formula developed by years of research and ex
periment. "Prest-O-Plates" are famous not only for their strength,
rigidity and long life in service, but they are designed to give
the hlghcBt average amperage per square inch of plate surface of

To save
a shff onhflls
Many an automobile fails to deliver the
power and speed of which it is capable,
fails in acceleration and on the hills, be
cause of poor lubrication.
The purpose of lubrication is to reduce
friction. In this connection it must be re
membered that oils have internal or mo
lecular friction. The heavier the oil jthe
more this internal friction, which has to
be overcome by and uses up power.
The ideal oil for tho automobile is the
thinnest oil which will keep the bearing
surfaces separated, and at the same time
offer in itself the least frictiqnal resistance
to the engine power going to the rear or
driving wheels.
Bucb an oil if it hs "oillnesa," stability and pur
ity, will give perfect lubrication, and permit tha
development of the maximum power, speed and
gasoline mileage of the car.
Zerolene meets these conditions perfectly.
4 Oilinest Stability Purity
Zerolene has great "ollinese," which causes It to
Cling to bearing surfaces while offering In itself a
minimum cf fricdonal resistance to the engine
power.
It has great stability, which causeslt to resist engine
beatand to form a minimum of carbon of a soft, flaky
nature which goes out with the exhaoat.
And It la pore.
If you follow the Zerolene chart of Correct Lubri
cation, you will develop the maximum power, speed
and gasoline mileage of your car.
