With fully advanced spark and properly adjusted carburetor the improvement over any other gasoline is so great as to more than justify the small premium charged a premium which represents the actual cost ' of the F.thyl fluid added to the gasoline. iVj)7 brand of anti-knock compound was developed in the great laboratories of the General Motors Corporation after seven years of costly and intensive research and the testing of more than 33,000 separate formulas. It is used today by 50 of the largest oil companies throughout the entire world and is endorsed by the foremost . automotive engineers in the world.
