HOaO Science has made it easy

Common Sense, the GreuseIess Cleanser
IS prepared with scientific exactness to
m eet the out-of-doors conditions that
affect motor cars. It's action is solely upon
those elements which form the dingy, gray
film that so soon cheapens and makes even
the finest cars look commonplace.
Ten years of exhaustive tests, embracing
thousands of cars and every climati
influence, prove eonclusively, that the
regular use of Common Sense alone, will
keep cars looking new.
Results with Common Sense depend not
upon strong -arming" nor upon the scour-
ing action Of abrasives. Its principle is that
of scientifically correct solvent It instant
ly liquiies all foreign matter which is then
absorbed by the cleaning cloth. Hence re-
suits come with amazing ease.
Common Sense quickly brings back to the
finish, the original factory lustre. Not the

given off by layer of wax, but the Factory
lustre itself, with its cloudless sheen of
