• Notes

  From FindaGrave: In 1920 on Cape Cod, Wendell V. C. Howes invented America's first Lubricator and Penetrating Oil. Made from a secret formula of highly refined petroleum ingredients, the Howes Multi-Purpose oil was equal to or better than other competitive products. He formulated a line of preventative maintenance products that would fuel the company to worldwide recognition. At the time, the automotive industry, still in its infancy, lacked any significant performance improving products. Howes toiled over formulas for years before he felt satisfied with his "Motor Elixir." Extensive testing had proved that his original creation exceeded all expectations.
