The SPEEDLER
LESS G4s-MORE MILEAGE

What is thc SrEEDLEg? 1t is a simple me-
chanical device that can be attached to any
automobile. And what it can and does do
for the operator is that it gives more
speed more mileage a1d more power on
less gasoline and reduces carbon and heat
in the motor and gives it II better mixture
on which to operate. Also, it serves us Il
fine emergency brake. The SpEEDLER costs
81. but it soon pays for itself in saving gas
Olinc. 1t is guaranteed to do everything
here enumerated.
| am the Bossier Parish agent for the
SpEEDLER and will be pleased to give you a
