That is -the story you get from Atlantic Gasoline, no matter where or when you buy it. 2 Atlantic has range! It isn’t .simply a fair-weather gasoline. Its long and uniform “chain of boiling points” gives it all the elements for action and all the elements for power required to meet every speed, load, tempera- ture or other operating condition. You need no scientific uhalysis to discover Atlantic’s absolute day-in-and-day-out superiority as a fuel for present-day motors. Performance will tell you that! Starting will prove that Atlantic vaporizes and ignites easily. Getaway, pickup and hill climbing will show that Atlantic is packed with stamina. Mileage and the long-continued, carbonless smoothness of your motor will give you positive evidence that Atlantic burns completely—that every possible heat-containing fraction is developed into live, wheel-turning energ “There’s an Atlantic Pump on the road you are traveling” GASOLINE PutsPepinYour Motor Jords Meant BY CLIFF STERRETT G'NIGHT, NEESAH, 1 ShALL SLEEP AT Me CLug!
