GALVESTON NEW ORLEANS at major U.S. ports "Jumbo tanks" positioned on lighter of Standard Boat Com- pany. Each jumbo is "dedicated"—receives only one type of oil—thus assuring freedom from contamination.

And with the increasing use of Shell's

MELINA Oil, a heavy-duty multipurpose lube oil, this bulk delivery trend is accelerating.

The more motorships that use Shell

MELINA® Oil, the more advantage there is to bulk delivery facilities. And the more reason to be- lieve that bulk lube oil facilities are a good in- vestment for all concerned.

If you want to take full advantage of the speed, cleanliness, safety and economy of bulk lube oil delivery, Shell is ready for you at major ports on the East, West and Gulf Coasts. Shell
