Air ga.soline (unless dyed) looks pretty much alike, but there arc
certain qualities that make one gasoline lictter than any other.
“Standard’' Gasoline is the best “buy” on the market today, for
“Standard” has these outstanding qualities:
Easy Starting—even in coldest weather.
Quick j^iccderation — necessary in traffic.
Power, Steady and Reliable—for hill climbing and
long, hard runs.
Mileage Efficiency —proved over and over by road tests in
every type of car.
Safety to Motor—a fuel that cannot possibly injure your engine.
Complete Combustion — a fuel that bums cleanly, leaving
practically no carbon, and burns completely, leaving no “Itxjse
ends'* to s<?ep down and dilute the motor oil in the crank case.
Uniformity — yon can set your carburetor on “Standard” and
forget it, for every gallon is like every other gallon wherever
you may buy it.
^Availability — “Standard” Gasoline has the further advan
tage of being easily obtained, as our red “Standard” pumps
are conveniently located throughout the length and breadth
of this state.
