Pacific-Gulf Marine And

A.C. Toepfer Sign Contract

Pacific Gulf Marine, Inc. (PGM) signed an agreement with Alfred C.

Bishop To Carry Royal

Purple Lubricants

Bishop Lubricants Inc. of

Seabrook, Texas has reached an agreement with Royal Purple Syn- thetic Lubricants Inc. of Humble,

Texas to be the exclusive marine industry distributor for Royal

Purple's products. Tests have shown

Royal Purple's lubricant formula- tions provide lubes with a tough film strength. This film, by bonding with surfaces, reportedly reduces friction dramatically. According to

Bishop Lubricants, operating tem- peratures drop, RPMs increase, amperage draw drops and wear is virtually eliminated—with engines lasting twice as long or longer.

Bishop also says Royal Purple's tough film strength allows boat own- ers to double the engine oil drain interval, so only the filter need be changed, and that oil disposal prob- lems are cut a minimum of 50 per- cent. Bishop offers a complete line of synthetic lubricants including gear oil, motor oil, 2-cycle, ATF and grease as well as a full line of indus- trial oils for compressors, pumps, etc. For more information on
