Model 88™ 

 

CABLE MAINTENANCE 

To get maximum service from your cables, be sure 
that they are clean and well oiled.  This not only  

provides running lubrication, but greatly extends  
the life of the cables as well.   Our SNAKE OIL is 
ideally suited for this purpose, since it not only 
lubricates the cables, it deodorizes them as well.
