The S.S. “City of Chattanooga,” one of nine ships owned and operated by the Ocean Steamship Company of Savannah, and lubricated with Tide Water lubricants. 60,000 nautical miles a year on Tide Water Lubricants = he Ocean Steamship Company of Savannah operates nine lux- ufious steamers from New York to Savannah, and from Boston to Savannah. The S.S. “City of Chat- tanooga”’, the S.S. “City of Bir- mingham”, and the other ships of the line, average approximately 60,000 nautical miles a year. What a test of the stamina of the lubri- cants they use! Under this steady punishmentinferioroilsand greases would soon fail. For the proof that Tide Water lubricants do not fail read the letter following from the Superintendent of the Company: TIDE WATER O1t SALES Corp., 11 Broadway, New York City Gentlemen: We beg to advise that for the last five years we have satisfactorily lubricated our fleet of nine vessels with the Marine lubricants supplied by the Tide Water Oil Sales Corporation. This may be of interest to you when you consider the fact that 60% of the time all these vessels are at sea, which means that our engines are turning over as consistently as any other passenger fleet on the Atlantic Coast. In addition to our New York-Savannah Service, where each steamer covers approxi- mately 52,000 nautical miles per year, those operating from Boston to Savan- nah each cover about 72,000 nautical miles. Because we secure the maximum of lubrication value with the mini- mum of consumption, we are pleased to recommend Tide Water Marine Lubricants. Very truly yours, tu §. ea : Superintendent. oe Put Tide Water lubricants on the job in your engine room, and you will have:— 1. Lubricants made from selected crudes only. 2. Lubricants which are the product of over 50 years of refining experience. 3. Lubricants whose uniformity is guaranteed by 3,000 labo- ratory tests a month. 4, Lubricants which will give you maximum service at mini- mum rate of consumption.
