5 Gallor or more at_
First of all it will
pay you better to use
Rowe's Medicated
Oil because it has
more efficiencv per
gallon as a vermin
destroyer and germ
killer than any other
on the market. It is
more than four times
as effective at crude
oil and requirts a
much smaller appli-
cation to do the
same work. This
oil is especially pre-
pared innurown lab-
oratories according
