| LUBRICATION NEWS To Automotive Jobber Representatives Everywhere AT LAST! A DIFFICULT LUBRICATION PROBLEM SOLVED Du Pont Chemists develop a perfect, lightning-fast penetrating non-petroleum lubricant for rubber parts and metal-to-metal contacts on the chassis As you know, ordinary petroleum lubricants are not satisfactory for lubricating rubber parts on the modern motor car. They swell rubber as well as definitely disintegrate it, eventually causing costly repairs and replacements. Squeaks from rubber parts may be temporarily eliminated by petroleum lubricants only to come shrieking back overnight. The result is customer dissatisfaction and eventually loss of business. "OREL" overcomes this difficulty. It is the result of du Pont chemists' painstaking search for a non-petroleum lubricant that is harmless to rubber, yet one that effectually penetrates and lubricates rubber bearings and all rubber parts, keeping them alive and eliminating squeaks. "OREL" is a superior, entirely new lubricant which does not affect rubber in any way and which possesses such penetrating qualities that it goes where ordinary lubricants cannot reach. For this reason, it is a perfect anti-squeak for all rubber-to-metal chassis parts; also effective for spring lubrication and other metal-to-metal contacts between the chassis and frame.
