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

Because of the success of Ethyl gasoline,
. many imitations have appeared so-called
high compression gasolines totally inferior

genuine anti-knock, high compression fuel
and is sold only from pumps bearing the
Ethyl trademark.
To secure maximum rciults from your motor advance
the spark at the distributor to a point where the
"knock" is greatest with ordinary gasoline; aet the
carburetor to a. leaner mixture, and then use Ethyl
exclusively.
