INGINE cold? Won't start at all sometimes?
Then your gasoline is being sucked into the '
engine in drops like rain.
That's why your car 'is so hard "to start in cold
weather. That's when the engine' is sluggish and weak.
Ordinary gasoline vaporizes slowly.
You can feed your engine pickup and power. Tydol, .
the Economy Gasoline, vaporizes fast. Up from the
carburetor, it goes to every cylinder in light, dry vapor
and flashes into instantaneous power.
Tydol operates on ,a lean 15 to 1 mixture when
your carburetor is properly adjusted. It starts off fast
in the morning, warms up the engine, givcB high
mileage per gallon.
Look for the orange and black Tydol sign today, r j$f
