That’s the kind of power, driving power, lifting power, that it takes to send an airplane S miles high! And Martin Jensen found itin Hi-fest TYDOL, so much power that when he swooped to a landing he said, “I never believed that it was possible for the gas I use in my car to give such an amazing performance in an airplane!” Starting in warm summer air, rising through wet and misty clouds, climbing to the bitter cold of high altitudes, would you expect a regular motor car gasoline to show & perfect record under such conditions, withost even the help of the supercharger generally used on altitude fli‘ht‘l? But Hi-test TYDOL did! And any TYDOL pump sells exactly the same gasoline, an anti-kpock, super-power, high-test gasoline at no extra cost. Fill your car today with this fuel so spectacular in all-round performance that it has butone ordinary quality—THE PRICE!. . .
