Wi aighe Chaet A t 'r : ler Reo # ORE than twenty one million cars! One to every five people! More cars than telephones! City traffic in villages! Boulevard traffic on country roads! Streams of cars! Torrents of cars! Turning, speeding, stopping, dodging! An inch on this sidel Two inches on that! An opening here! A blockade there! Clutch—shift—brakes—accel- erator, over and over and over again. That’s 1927 traffic. To drive in that whirlpool of cars, with safety, ease and speed requires all your skill at the wheel, all your motor’s flexibility, and all the sturdiness your car possesses. But even more, modern traffic demands a new type of motor-fuel, a. gasoline that delivers instantly the precise kind of power you need to meet every situation, every crisis of the road. Today, in the New Traffic Tydol, such a gas- oline is offered to the motoring public. A gasoline that meets the 5 demands of modern traffic 3 Present-day traffic makes five definite de- mands of gasoline. First, split-second starting. Second, rushing pick-up. Third, a great reserve of power for emergencies. Fourth, it must reduce gear-shifting, by furnishing power as smooth, in high gear, at five miles an hour as at fifty. Fifth, it must eliminate knocking, and keep your motor quiet and sweet-running. Many gasolines satisfy one or two of those requirements. But there is only one gasoline, the New Traffic Tydol that fully meets all five requirements. To make this new traffic gasoline possible, Tide Water technologists made thousands of exacting laboratory tests, hundreds of rigid road tests. Refining equipment and refining methods Through new precision methods, a great refiner creates this perfect gasoline THE WEST FENCE BATTERY How Tide Water’s Bubble Tower Stills make possible the New Traffic Tydol AUNT, fantastic silhouettes against the sky,“Battery A”and the “West Fence Battery” tower above the turmoil of the great Tide Water refinery at Bayonne, N.]. To the layman they are simply a weird tangle of tanks and steel work and pipes and ladders. But to engineers they mark the beginning of another chapter in gasoline history. Where ordinary gasoline stills are regulated by hand, Tide Water’s Bubble-Tower stills are governed by sensitive thermo- stats, and accurate electric recording instruments. And now it is possible to refine gasoline without the slightest guess-work, variation or error. And, car-owners can obtain a gasoline that meets the five demands of 1927 traffic—the New Traffic-Tydol. e | YDOL conoMy GASOLINE were revised and developed to a new point in pre- cision and accuracy. Great, additional resources in California crude oils were acquired because Cali- fornia crude imparts unique qualities to a gasoline. And finally, after more than two years of work, the New Traffic Tydol was perfected. To prove conclusively to the motoring public the superiority of this new gasoline it was sub- jected to these competitive tests. “Blind tests” prove this gasoline’s superiority Sixteen professional car demonstrators were selected to make the tests. These men were experts who knew the meaning of a motor’s slightest whisper. The cars they drove ranged from fours to eights, from Fords to Locomobiles. Each demonstrator first tested the gasoline he was accustomed to use. Then he conducted “blind” tests with other gasolines, taken from un- labelled cans. One of these in every case was the New Traffic Tydol. But, at no time during these tests, did the demonstrator know which gasoline he was using. The tests were made under every conceivable traffic condition,—on hills, in city streets, on highways, in rain, cold, and snow. Each gas was tested for: fast-starting; pick-up; power; gear-shifting; and for anti-knock qualities. In each test the demonstrator was accom- panied by an observer, with a split-second stop watch, who recorded the results. Here are the results. Qut of a possible 70 first choices, in tests made on 5 separate points, the New Traffic Tydol earned 66. On a question of personal choice, all 16 demonstrators chose Tydol as the best all around gasoline. You make the FINAL test Stop today at any black and orange Tydol pump. Fill up with the New Traffic Tydol. Then test this gasoline impartially, for faster starting, quicker pick-up, added power, less gear- shifting, anq for anti-knock qualities.
