SEALED GLASS CONTAINERS.

FOR MOTOR OIL. ANSWER TO SUBSTITUTION MENACE. The action of a large oil company operating in New Zealand in adopting the novel method of dispensing motor oil in sealed glass containers constitutes nil effective dual measure of protection for motorists. The first purpose this new method serves is that it prevents the possibility of substitution, as the oil is sealed with a tamper proof method on the company’s premises—a protection of the company’s name—safeguard of the dealer’s reputation and definite assurance to the motorist that he gets what he asks, and pays for. The second benefit of oil dispensed from sealed glass containers lias even wider scope for 'motorists’ approval. The motorist who in the past has had the dubious pleasure of peering curiously over the windscreen to watch a stream of oil as it leaves a somewhat impure decanter en route for the sump—plus a considerable quantity of grit, etc., and perhaps of doubtful measure—will welcome a method that does away with such practices.
