Hf you drive 10 bloc ks or more, you'll use
Express Streets allowing speeds up to 50 mile
an hour with no stoplights ... no intersection!
... no pedestrians to slow you down.
Tor short trips, you'll use one-way Local
Streets, made wider by the elevation of side,

Stop and Go
TRAFFIC STOPS arc not only annoying
. . . they waste money because they
waste gasoline!
The 30 stops you average every day,
everywhere you drive, can waste enough
gasoline to drive you ten miles!
Today's stop and go is the COSTLIEST
kind of driving!
While traffic authorities are planning

have developed a fuel . . . Super-Shell, to
meet today's driving problem TODAY.
They have found a way to rearrange
the chemical structure of gasoline . . .
actually to balance it.'
Automotive engineers describe Super

motor speeds, it is converted so QUICKLY,
so COMPLETELY into power.
