No premium price £ OW will it improve my motor's performance?”’ “How does it compare with the gas I'm using?’ Those are two questions you'll want answered about the New Traffic Tydol. To give you fair, impartial answers, competitive tests were conducted recently between the New Traffic Tydol and seven other gasolines. They were practical tests, made by practical men under the same driving conditions you have to face every day. And the tests were designed to show which gasoline is best fitted to cope with traffic, the greatest problem in modern motoring. No longer ‘is traffic confined to the busy city streets. Today, every highway holds a torrent of hurrying, dodg- ing cars. Every little village has a catch-as-catch-can corner. And in every situation, in every crisis that pops up in modern traffic, gasoline plays a vital part in your comfort and your safety. What present-day traffic demands Modern traffic makes these S demands of gasoline. First: split-second starting. ‘ Second: rushing pick-up to sweep you through the openings in traffic. Third: a great reserve of power, ready to respond in- stantly in an emergency. Fourth: elastic power that reduces gear-shifting by keeping your motor as smooth-running at 5 miles an hour as it is at 50. Fifth: anti-knock qualities that keep your motor quiet and sweet-running even under stress. PROOF! The New TRAFFIC-TYDOL means 1. FASTER STARTING 2. QUICKER PICK-UP 3. MORE POWER 4. LESS GEAR-SHIFTING 5. REDUCES KNOCKING Abovefacts proved in impartial,stop- | New Traffic-Tydol earned 66 out of watch tests.

New York City. Signed, photostatic records of above The new TRAFFIC It was on those 5 essential points that the gasolines were tested. . “Blind”’ tests prove Trafic Tydol's superiority Sixteen professional car demonstrators were selected to make the tests. They were men who knew the meaning of a motor’s slightest whisper. Men who knew cars from bumper to tail light—who knew gasolines from carburetor to exhaust. The cars they drove ranged from fours to eights, from Fords to Locomobiles. Thetests weremade under every conceivable traffic condition —in the tangled turmoil of city streets; on steep, winding hills; on the speed inviting stretches of the highways; in rain, and cold, and snow. Each demonstrator first tested the gasoline he was accus- tomed to use. Then he conducted “blind” tests with other gas- olines, taken from unlabelled cans. In every case, one of these was the New Traffic Tydol. But, at no time during the tests, did the demonstrator know which gasoline he was testing. In each case the demonstrator was accompanied by an im- partial observer, with a split-second stop watch, who recorded the performance of the gasolines on each of the 5 points essen- tial in modern traffic. YDOL Economy GAsoLINE " Here are the results. Out of a possible 70 first choices, in tests made on the § separate points, the New Traffic Tydol earned 66. On the question of personal choice, all 16 demonstrators chose Tydol as the best all around gasoline. New precision methods made this gasoline possible The supremacy of Traffic Tydol was no accident. Two years of research—thousands of laboratory ex- periments—hundreds of road tests—new refining equip- ment—huge added resources in California crude oil, which imparts unique qualities to a gasoline—all those factors played their part in perfecting this new-type motor-fuel. Yet the New Traffic Tydol would have been impossible, bad not Tide Water engineers developed arr improved precision process of refining gasoline. To perfect this new process they adapted Bubble-Tower stills and applied a control system of amazing accuracy. Where ordinary gasoline stills are regulated by hand, Tide Water’s new stills are governed by sensitive ther= mostats and accurate electric recording instruments. Itis now possible to make a motor-fuel without the slightest guess-work, variation or error. And, car-owners can obtaine a gasoline that meets the five demands of 1927 traffic— the New Traffic Tydol.
