Engines stiff with cold and hard to start. Motor Spirit chilled and slow to respond. But to-day we have the answer. The new and better Texaco makes "'cold starts" easy starts ... a touch of the starter is all that is needed. The response to the spark is instantaneous, because the new and better Texaco enters the cylinders as a dry gas carrying no liquid globules to cut the motor oil film, and burns completely, leaving no heavy ends to dilute the crank-case oil . . . hence better lubrication, less engine wear. When you pull up at a Texaco Pump and have your tank filled, you have bought something more than the indicator shows. You have, by that filling of new and better Texaco, given your engine the opportunity of turning over at its full rated power. You have treated yourself to the pleasure and profit of a snappier engine, greater mileage and a power reserve to meet every road or traffic condition. These advantages are the logical and natural results l of new Texaco Motor Spirit volatility ... the quality which makes Texaco vaporize readily, quite instantly deliver its energy generously, and consume completely. The Texaco Gallon is measured by the extra miles it gives and the cleaner engine .. . less valve grinding, less carbon and a snappier spark. Texaco means extra money in your pocket at the end of the month or year. Quick Starting Slow Starting 1. The new and better Texaco vaporizes so readily that it forma a dry gas—an active mixture of motor spirit and air. 2. This pure, dry gas responds instantly to the action of the spark 3. Result: Lightning starts, rapid accel* oration, smooth action, power I immmzm mi 9. Q H Z< kO % 1. A wet gas is an atomized mixture of motor spirit vapor in which are suspended drops of raw motor spirit. N 2. These drops form an uneven mixture which resists the action of the spark. 3. Result: Crankcase dilution, difficult start, slow acceleration, sluggish power. A. v . : All /■ wm£ PSBPSfe* liilllSii ■l- ; 1 r si Jil ..
