The Most Thrill ling Story
in Gasoline History

And so the sealed Tydol pump IS being
introduced in this locality. 1t IS, we
believe, the most effective step ever taken
to protect the moterist BY safeguarding
the high quality Of any gasoline.
The sealed pump nov 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
TydoI pump that 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 to. you
The sealed pump is proof that the
Tydol dealer is a progressive and q 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 are
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.

The result was electric. Car owners
flocked to the Tydol pumps. Newspa-
pers commended the move editorially.
The Tydol advertising won coveted adj
vertising prize. The gasoline bootleg
gers were first resentful, then dismayed,
finally defeated. Today, New York City
gets clean, genuine high quality Tydol and
knows it.
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.

Miller interrupted. Another thing,
Miss Hawley. I've read a good deal
OF your theater stuff in your home
town paper and liked it. But I've
also noticed regrettable tendency
in you to tell the truth ct all costs.
Used to wonder how the paper let
some of your reviews get by. Pretty
peppery. weren't you, sometimes?"
Barbara answered hotly. THE
Telegraph was rather an indepen-
dent newspaper, Mr. Miller. That's
one reason liked to work for it. Mr..
McDermott would print Rnythine

1t hit"
The man smiled. Must have been

The man sat looking at her over
his black cigar for some moments,
gleam' of amusement in his eyes.
Then he arose. "Ill take you to your
office and introduce you to'Miss Fur
nivall."
They passed down corridor to a
row of small glass-enclosed rooms.
Miller led the way down the row
until they came to one in which a
woman was operating typewriter
at breakneck speed. Her hands
dropped from the machine and she
turned to face them as they en-
tered.
Miller introduced them and Miss
Furnivall gave Barbara a smile that
lit UP her face surprisingly.
"Show Miss Hawley the ropes,
please, Betsy" said Miller. "She has
come to learn Broadway as Is. She's
going to do the Tea. for Two col
umn and some interviews"
Miss Furnivall smiled again at
Barbara, as Miller left the room.

The room was crowded with small
tables. Barbar's first glimpse was
of a multitude of black coats on
rotund bodies. back to back. down
aisle after aisle of tiny tables,
At last they were settled at a
table and waiter was handing
them menu cards.
There was a stirring at the ta-
bles around them. Barbara glanced
over her shoulder and saw the crowd
making toward a cleared space in
the center of the room. so small
that had not before noticed it.
Are they going to try to dance
there?" she whispered to Bob.
Sure thing" he answered. But
they won't dance. They'll just locir
their partners in their arms and
stand still rhythmically.
That was precisely what they did.
II know q lot of places down in
the village that are more fun than
this" remarked Bob. '"But l
thought for your first night you
should see gay Broadway at its
gayest. This place is supposed to
hit as fast a pace as any. But for
me-give me more food ana more
room and a bit less gayety.'
Barbara sat watching the dan
GERS, too much fascinated to do
more than nibble at the elaborate
dishes which the waiter had set
before her.
The music stopped and the dane
ers crept back, an inch at time,
to the tables they had left.
Wen just eat here and perhaps
do our dancing after the show" said
Bob. 1--WE tickets for the F'ollies."
Barbara beamed at him. I'm
having such gorgeous time"
That's good. You're looking a
knockout tonight. too, Barbara.
Never saw you looking SO we'll"
She flushed. 1t was the first mas
culine praise she had heard for a
long time. "How can people get
tired of New York and talk all that

naughty dame in charge.
Her bill astonished her but she
paid it without flinching and went
back to her room. The attendants
had worked wonders with her skin
and hair.
When the dress came back, Bar.
bara slipped into it with a little
shiver of pleasure. 1t was of silver
lace and blue velvet ribbons, last
minute purchase In Indianapolis.
The telephone bell tinkled. Some.
one waiting for you in the lobby,
Miss Hawley," said the smooth voice
of the switchboard girl.
Barbara snatched up her cape,
shot last look in the mirror and
rushed out.
Bob stepped up to her as she left
the elevator. He was wearing an
evening jacket whose tails did not
stick out like an angry ROSTERS.
"Bahs," he cried, wringing her
hand. Gosh, but it's good to see

The Salon d'Argent was on Broad

said Barbara. II want to get a good

Bob smiled and told the driver to
stop. They walked along silently for
g. few minutes. Ribbons and mann
moth splotches of colored lights
flickered and changed overhead.
Bob let her look her fill for some
moments. How do yoS like it,
Babs?" he asked at last.
Barbara shivered. Its gross and
terrifying, but it's beautiful. I'm
glad I'm going to learn to know 1t
all. But hope I can fight back at
1t, too"
They were entering the doorway
OF the Salon d'Argent. Steps led
downward to a lobby, where at

wraps.
The dining room beyond was win

It's a sad thing that human nature

On the evening OF the third day.
Barbara made ready to leave the

Her luggage had been sent ahead
to the new apartment, when she
came down into the lobby at nine
O'Clock to check out. Her bill paid
and her key turned in, Barbara went
to the telephone switchboard. "If
you have a call for me, will you
please give this NUMBER" She
handed the girl a card with the
new number and address.
Bob had not made good his prom.

Barbara unlocked the door Of the

Barbara said no more, but stared

in an old brownstone building.
The first room she entered was
more reassuring. 1t had a thick
carpet. mahogany desks and a squad
of typists.
No one looked up as Barbara en-
tered. She stood near the door for a
moment, nervously twisting button
on her coat. Then she went quickly
forward and spoke to the woman at
the nearest desk.

The young woman nodded to a

Before they left, she had written a
check for the first months rent.

from here.p said Miss Furnivall, as
'they were on their way back to the
office. IL hope you will come to see
me sometimes. You should try to
get acquainted with as many people

When they reached the office, she
followed Miss Furnivall into her
Office and perched herself on the
corner Of the desk.
Miss Furnivall removed her hat
and coat and sat oown opposite Bar
bara.
Haven't you enjoyed living here,
Miss Furnivall? New York seems
such a glorious place to me. Every
thing a person could wish is here,
just waiting to be plays,
books, music, interesting friends,
contacts with people of many ma

would never fail"
Miss Furnivall looked straight
ahead. II know. 1t used to seem
that way to me. twenty years ago.
But now it's just a wilderness. The
