When we can point to the fact that Zenith was used on DePalma’s “Packard 905” when it made the world’s record for acceleration—we don’t have to make claims about its quick PICK-UP. . When we can show that Zenith was chosen for every Liberty Engine and for the trans-Atlantic plane “NC-4”, where lives literally depended upon fuel saving—it is un- necessary to argue about Zenith ECONOMY. When we can tell you that Zenith was used on all the large French and British tanks and is now used on the 25-ton Baldwin locomotives—we don’t need to say that Zenith gives POWER. When we can prove that Zenith is now used by more than 70 per cent. of all European automobile builders and ‘by more than 100 American manufacturers of cars and trucks—we need say no more about Zenith EFFICI- ENCY and DEPENDABILITY. What Zenith has done is the best proof of what Zenith can do. If your car or truck is not Zenith-equipped, see us. A.G. HAWKER Ein Sret — 1O .
