As keen-minded individual motor- ist you are probably just as deeply interested in getting the best gasoline your money can buy, as the purchas- ing agents of large truck, bus and other commercial-car fleet operators.
 As one of the largest and most responsible refining organizations in the world, The Atlantic Refining Company makes the unqualified as- sertion that today's new-type Atlan- tic Gasoline IS the brawnieSt, smooth est, snappiest all-round motor fuel on the market.
 It is erha- -p0vred. It is 5mooth- acting. Yet with these much-sought modern qualities, Atlantic is amaz- ingly easy starting and quick on pickup.
 It is so clean-burning that carbon- cleaning and valve grinding expense is practically dead issue.
