IN the International races at Indianapolis,
in every race sponsored by the Ameri
can Automobile Association in recent
years, the winners have used ETHYL
in their gasoline.
Now you can get it in combination with
RED CROWN, the gasoline that has
been the choice of Nebraska motorists
for a generation.
Drive to the nearest RED CROWN
service station an d fill with RED
CROWN ETHYL. You will think you
have added a couple of cylinders to
your motor.
No more knocking when you take a
hill on high.
No more knocking when you have to
crawl in traffic.
More power all the way, because the car
bon in your car merely raises the com
pression and helps instead of hinders.
RED CROWN ETHYL gasoline
costs more, but it's worth it. Fill up
with it at the nearest RED CROWN
service station and prove it for
yourself.
To avoid dilution, drain your tank be
fore you nil it with Red Crown Ethyl
gasoline for the first time, and use Red
Crown Ethyl exclusively thereafter.
