RIVE a few yards in reverse gear.
Notice how the engine races. Notice
what a pull it places on your motor! Thei
imagine driving across the entire continent,
from New York to Los Angeles and bark
—all the way in reverse!
That’* exactly what the "back-up” boys,
world’s champion reverse drivers, did with
a Ford at a speed of 10 to 12 miles an hour.
This is equal, according to Ford author
ities, to 50 to 60 miles in high gear.

After they had conducted many com
parative tests they selected the new crack
proof Texaco as the one motor oil most
likely to withstand the terrific heat and
engine strain. And once again the new
Texaco has lived up to every expectation
— has proved its longer-lasting qualities
that will not break down under any driv
ing conditions.
Modern engines demand au extra mar
gin of protection. They demand better
lubrication. Car owners demand lower oil

Their engine speed, equiv

days. The abnormal en

to almost scorching pro

thermometer registered

perfect lubrication would
have spelled disaster.
