But there's one^motor fuel, Tydol, that is different. • . strid Uncle Sam taxes Tydol twice. The first tax is the regular gasoline tax. The second tax is for the special lubricant-^ Tydol contains. For this gasoline not only powe^ your motor but actually helps to lubricate it. Into every gallon THERE'S AN "ENGINEER IN EVERY GALLON" of Tydol is blended a super-lubricant which is also a carbon-solvent. This lubricant keeps the upper-cyliaders and valves of your motor cool, smooth-running and free from carbon... an added lubrication service whicli eyefylmodern^^^iiigh-speed motor needs.
