Much o f the strongest praise that "Red
Crown” gets comes from the 6000 dealers
who sell it and know what it will do. Their
faith is backed by the performance which
makes "Red Crown” the most popular "gas”
in the West.
To save carburetor adjustments, and to
improve your car’s performance on the hills
and the long steady pulls, for power and
mileage and true economy, use "Red Crown.”
Y ou’ll always be glad if you do.
