classes Sinclair Motor Oils are the finest that Nature
and science together have produced.
Sinclair Opaline Motor Oil is refined from ertuh 1
oils, mellowed and filtered for at least 80 million
years; it is a blend of the very oldest Mid-continent
crudes, including the famous Cambro - Ordovician
crude taken from a mile and a quarter below the
surface in Oklahoma.
Sinclair Pennsylvania Motor Oil is a product of
the Devonian Age of a hundred million years ago.
Sinclair Pennsylvania is refined 100% from Brad

ley.
Naturally we wanted to name
the Chapter for General Joseph
Warren for whom the county
and town were named. The Chap
ter was informed there was al
ready an existing Chapter by this
name, and as the National Socie
ty allows no two names alike,
this was denied us.
The Chapter was then named
in honor of seven Burkhalter
brothers, who participated in the
struggle for independence.
Mrs. Mamie Burkhalter Little,
of Washington, D. C., is due
much of the credit for the organ
ization of the Chapter, and pre
sented a gavel made of wood ta
ken from the'’ stairway in the
house known as “Washington
Jnn,” the last house built by
Washington, December, 1798, in
the “Federal City.”
