| BASSICK LUBRICANT PROPER lubrication of an automobile is absolutely necessary. The grade of oil and grease used determines the life of the parts needing lubrication fully as much as the material from which they are made. A Dependable Grease To provide users of the Alemite High Pressure Lubricating System with a dependable grease, absolutely free from all foreign substances; a grease which is of the same quality and consistency at all seasons of the year, and one which will further intensify positive and thorough lubrication to all parts when used, the Bassick Lubricant has been perfected. The advantages and high quality of Bassick Lubricant provides a generous measure of comfort, cleanliness and satisfaction as compared with the ordinary lubricants now offered. No Muss—No Waste The utmost economy is effected in the use of grease by the new Bassick Lubricant container, as illustrated and described in this circular. All possibility of waste, muss and the entrance into the lubricant of damaging dirt particles and foreign substances is entirely eliminated by the new Bassick Container and Filler. As will be seen from the accompanying illustration filling the compressor of the ALEMITE High Pressure Lubricating System with Bassick Lubricant is made an extremely simple process, and one that will appeal to every user of the ALEMITE. Compressor Easily Filled As an integral part of the Bassick Lubricant container or can there is a cone-shaped plunger, which is disclosed upon the removal of the can cover. Unscrew the head from the compressor and place open end over the cone-shaped plunger. By simply pressing down firmly with both hands, as shown in the illustration, the lubricant or grease is forced into the cylinder until it is completely filled and ready for use. Economical and Clean This method for filling the compressor SAVES GREASE and keeps it as clean as when it was placed in the can originally. The economy, cleanliness and simplicity of the Alemite Compressor Filler is at once apparent and appeals to everyone who seeks to avoid an ordinarily mussy and dirty job.
