MORE than twenty one million cars! One to
1vx every five people! More cars than telephones!
City traffic in villages Boulevard traffic On
country roads!
Streams of cars! Torrents of cars! Turning,
speeding, stopping, lodging! An inch on this
side Two inches on that! An opening here!
Ablockade there! Clutch-shift- -brakes-accel-
orator, over and over and over again.
That's 1927 traffic.
To drive in that whirlpool of cars, with safety,
ease and speed requires all your skill at the wheel,
all your motors flexibilty and all the sturdiness
your car possesses.
But even more, modern traffic demands
new type of motor-fuel, a gasoline that delivers
instantly the precise kind of power you need to
meet every situation, every crisis of the road
Today, in the New Traffic Tydo, such gas
oline is offered to the motoring public
A gasoline that meets the demands
of modern traffic
Present-day traffic makes five definite de-
rnands of gasoline. First split-second starting
Second rushing pickup. Third, a great reserve
of power for emergencies Fourth, it must reduce
gear shifting by furnishing power as smooth, in
high gear at five miles hour at fifty
Fifth, it must eliminate knocking, and keep your
motor quiet and sweet-running.
Many gasolnes satisfy one or two of those
requirements. But there is only one gasoline
the New Traffic Tydol that fully meets all five
requirements.
To make this traffic gasoline possible

exacting laboratory tests hundreds of rigid road

in California crude oils were acquired because Cali
fornia crude imparts unique qualities to gasoline.
And finally, after more than two years of
work, the New Traffic Tydo was perfected.
To prove conclusively to the motoring public
the superiority of this new gasoline it was sub
iected to these competitive tests
blind tests brove this gasohne's
superiority
Sixteen professional car demonstr ators were
selected to make the tests. These men were
experts who knew the meaning of a motors
slightest whisper. The cars they drove ranged
from fours to eghts, from Fords to Locomobiles.
Each demonstrators first tested the gasoline
he was accustomed to use Then he conducted
blind tests with other gasolines, taken from un-
labelled cans. One of these in every case was the
New Traffic Tydol. But at no time during these
tests, did the demonstration know which gasoline
he was using.
The tests were made under every conceivable
traffic condition,-on hills, in city Streets on
highways, in rain, cold, and snow. Each gas
was tested for: fast-st arfin9; pickup; power;
gear-shiffing; and for anti-knock qualities.
In each test the demonstrator was accom-
panied by an observer with split-second stop
watch, who recorded the results.
Here are the results.
Out of possible 70 first choices, in tests
made on 5 separate points, the New Traffic Tydol
earned 66. On question of personal choice, all
16 demonstrators chose Tydol the best all
around gasoline

 Officers Liard and Benoit said that they passed Joe and his companion Peter peloquin, on Main street.
