An improved gasoline that
has made hosts of friends
STANDARD OIL COMPANY
(NEW JERSEY)
GASOLINES differ. Some have highly volatile elements that
make motors quick-starting in cold weather. Others have
a rale of combustion that furnishes unusual power. The fluid
requirements of gasolines, per mile and per horse-power, vary.
Some gasolines take you further and are more economical in
everyway. . > -
Balanced gasoline combines every desirable gasoline quality. It
is sufficiently volatile to make the motor quick-starting and re
sponsive in the coldest weather Its rate and completeness of
combustion not only assure maximum power, but they also
assure minimum carbon deposits. With balanced gasoline your
motor will always operate on a lean, economical mixture*
"Standard" Motor Gasoline is the most perfectly balanced gaso
line we know of. On laboratory tests and in actual operation this
improved, balanced "Standard" Motor Gasoline stands first.
It gives power and economy the year around. That's why the
familiar "S.O" sign attracts experienced motorists.
It is just as important to have the right oil for your motor. You
