SUPERSHELL

Have you tried new Supershell yet? You must do! It is a more powerful Gasoline than you have ever known, and it can do big things for your car. Quick starting. Instant acceleration. Surging, knock-free response on the open road, giving bigger gasoline mileage on long and short

rund.

But there is something more. You are going to like Supershell not only for its extra power but for its wonderful smoothneas. That is 1.C.A. ut work-Shell's patent ignition control additive. 1.C.A. neutralises engine deposits and so prevents surface ignition, taking all the roughness and raggedness out of your engine.

You get more power, more smoothly,, when
