That's the kind of a combination the motorist gets in TYDOL ETHYL. Tydol, the supergasoline... blended with Ethyl, the perfect antiknock fuel. Two champions in one. With TYDOL ETHYL you can drive in high, and give her the gun, in any stress or strain of traffic or hill- climbing, without gear-shifting or spark retarding. And without knock! TYDOL ETHYL acts like a lullaby in quieting noise, and like an elixir in pepping up carbonized motors. What a combination ! IT'S RED!
