^JHE's troughed and churned through all the Seve. ^^ Through the icy wastes of the Atlantic, the tropic haze 01 Capricorn, the blue heat of the Mediterranean, leaving a white plume in her wake behind the Red Ensign. She's battered and old and ugly; her squat shadow falls against the sun-reddened waters; her ungainly form is silhoutted black against the crimson of the setting sun. Thus, affectionately, we think of her. With her precious dangerous cargo she triumphs over mines and submarines and hostile aircraft while running the gauntlet of dangers common to those that go down to the sea in ships. Salute the tanker! We didn't always think of her that way. Ungratefully we took her for granted. We drained the sumps and refilled with fresh oil. But now, when waste is a crime of conscience against brave men, and all for which they fight, it's different. Oil must be made to do its duty to the very last. Vokes are proud that their Oil and Fuel Filters are helping. They are on active service everywhere — including the Home Front. Manufactured by the pioneers of scientific filtration they are 99.9 per cent, efficient. A quarter of a century's specialised experience f has gone to their making. .- CONTRACTORS TO THE BRITISH AND DOMINION GOVERNMENTS VOKES • LIMITED • LONDON • S-W- DESIGNERS, PATENTEES & MANUFACTURERS OF AIR, OIL & FUEL FILTERS & OF COMPLETE CLEANER INSTALLATIONS & SILENCERS
