rHERMo GAS GUARD NOW
DEFINITELY ON THE MAP

\ Tho Thermo gas guard for Ford mo-
tors has now passed the experimental
stage and is thoroughly tested device
guaranteed to do what its inventors
claim for II, that Is. that It will save
about rs per cent on the gas bill. will
give car more power and will save
trouble in a dozen ways. II has met
with great success here in the homo
territory and is doubtless destined to
become one of the most popular and
useful of Ford accessories.
The gas guard is simple little
arrangement automatically controlling
the gasoline and as It works on a
thermostatic principle, does away with
troubles caused by differences OF
temperature. That II does this Is at
tested to by dozens OF testimonials
from people In the immediate district
who all unite in declaring that since
installing the gas guard. their con-
sumption OF gas is reduced one-fourth; !;
their car climbs hills on high that
heretofore required careful nursing OF
the engine to navigate; their engine
runs better in every way and repair
bills are cut lown.
