Dealers demand sealed pumps

The effects of the sealed pump cam paign were far reaching. From other cities where there was not even a suspic- ion of gasoline substitution, came the de- mand of dealers and car owners for the sealed pump. They wanted Tydol quail ity given the additional protection of the sealed pump. They wanted to be sure that substitution never could affect Tydol.

The Most Thrilling Story
 i'm Gasoline History

THE fall of 1925 found New York City A flooded with 'bootleg gasoline" This was cheap, third-rate stuff which dishon- est distributors unloaded on the public through pumps which bore the trade marks of well-known, high quality gaso- lines. Car owners never kneW-unti1 too late-whether or not they actually got the gasoline they paid for at the pump.
 Honest dealers were hard bitten by this malicious competition. Motorists be- came cynical about all gasolines and doubted the merits of any.
 Then Tide Water decided on a drastic step, step that took infinite courage in the face of the circumstances.
 How bootleg gasoline was defeated
 It was decided, with the cooperation of the Tydol dealers, to seal all Tydol pumps in Metropolitan New York-seal them in such way that Tydol and Tydol alone could be run through the pumps. Then the sealed Tydol pump and the reasons for 1t were advertised to the public.
New Britain herald., 1926-05-22

And so the sealed Tydo1 pump is being introduced in this locality. 1t is, we believe, the most effective step ever taken to protect the motorist by safeguarding the high quality of any gasoline.
 The sealed pump now introduced
 in this section
 The Tydol dealers in this vicinity have united in sealing every single Tydol pump. They want to protect the high quality of the Tydol they sell you.
 These dealers are doing their share in this great step to improve the marketing of quality gasoline. They deserve your patronage. Stop at any Tydol pump and ask to see the seal.
 You will see upon the intake pipe of the underground tank that feeds the Tydol pump that a seal has been placed. Immediately after the dealers tank has been filled with Tydol, the intake pipe IS sealed. And it remains sealed until the next time the tank needs to be reflled with Tydol. Nothing but Tydol can go into the tank, Nothing but Tydol can flow from the pump.
 What the sealed pump means 10 yoa
 The sealed pump is proof that the Tydol dealer is a progressive and con- scientious business man who wants to supply you with gasoline of the highest quality and wants that quality protected. And the sealed pump is proof that you arc getting genuine Tydol.
 If you believe that the Tydol dealers of this city have made real step to improve the marketing of gasoline, please show your approval by patronizing the Tydol dealer nearest your home.

Postal Telegraph Messengers
To Deliver 1000 kilograms
Today - Exhibit in Bank
Window Will Explain Pur-
poses of $4,000 Fund

The largest single delivery of tele-
grams ever to be handled in this city,
will be delivered by the Postal Tele-
graph Company today, using over SO
special messengers to care for the
more than 1000 messages which are
being sent in connection with the Y.

paign, which begins on Tuesday
morning.
These kilograms will be accompan-
led by miniature bowling alleys
which will be put into every one of
the 1000 homes reached by the mes
sages, thus stressing the important
project which is planned, namely the
addition of three much needed bowl
ing alleys to the three already In use.
This work will be done by corps of
boys and girls who have been secured
by Physical Director Jack Mahan of
the local "Y."
Much interest is being manifest in
this campaign, the many bowlers. a
number of whom have been diSap-
pointed at one time or another be-
cause they have been unable to Sc
cure the alleys for practice or match
strings, being especially interested in
the campaign and its outcome.
The big broadside mailed on
Thursday night and received on Fri
day morning excited much comment,
carrying as it did the endorsement of
many social, fraternal and industrial
organizations of the city. Few people
realized the fact but the large en-
craving from which the inside of the
