ATLAN
never
disappoints
Atlantic is dependable gasoline because it is a
balanced gasoline, having the range te meet
every operating condition of speed, lead and
temperature.
Fer quick-and-certain starting of the meter,
and for instant response en the get-away you
can depend en Atlantic! Its low initial "boiling
point" assures asy vaporization and sure-fire
ignition.
And where power is needed for pick-up,
hill climbing, lead hauling there note the
stamina, the intense calorific power developed
behind a set of Atlantic driven pistons!
But Atlantic dependability doesn't step with
performance. It is the one gasoline that is
always dependable in supply. Fer no matter
when or where the tank runs low you can be sure
"there's an 'Atlantic Pump en the read
you are traveling"
