For not far ahead, along the road you are traveling, there's sure to be a Red Pump or a sign which says Atlantic. That's service! No matter where you buy Atlantic, you can depend on getting a gasoline unequalled for purity, volatility and refinementfor scientific correctness driving power mileage. That's quality! And no matter where or when you use Atlantic, can you depend on its making good. For Atlantic has uniformity. And range.
It delivers to the utmost- operating in the rarified atmosphere of the mountains or in the heavy air of the lowlands. Simply see that your carburetor and Atlantic are properly introduced and they'll work together through thick and thinunder every altitude, temperature, humidity, speed and load condition.
