"Just. Iii!?'.! man—with his superior air—he'd
keep telling me nny gasoline is the same as
nny other. Hut I argued there couldn't lie
much to lose, as long ns they give you the
Conoco Mile-Dial perfectly free.
"They certainly wouldn't tense you to take
& thing that strictly counts up the mileage
from their own gasoline, unless they're awfully
sure of themselves. So I steered to the first
Conoco station and in half a second the Mile-
Dial was on the dash. Looks smart. Free, too.
"The total mileage on your speedometer
goes on the Mile-Dial,'so you know the start
of your test. And you know the amount of
your gasoline, by starting with just a full tank
of Bronz-z-z. Then going along buying your
10 gallons more, or maybe 8, or 15 let's say,
your Mile-Dial keeps count.
"Let's look. I'm up to 63 gallons. And...
wait a second... it's 928 miles since starting
this test of CotaDco Bronz-z-z. Now watch this
)N()iU
flip of the Mile-Dinl. There! — it says better
than 17Vi milts from n gallon of Uronz-z, with
n car this big. And do I hear any pooh-pooh?
"Even Henry won't sny it's just luck any
more, after all the different driving tests he's
kept doing with this Mile-Dial... Luck?...
It's just bad luck using mixed breeds of gaso-
line when Conoco Bronz-z-z in game to let
you dial its true mileage.' A smaller car like
yours might oven beat 17H.
"If you're a consumer that wants 3G inches
in a yard, and real facts on everything, you
certainly want the true count of mileage from
your open-face Conoco Mile-Dial..
Get your own certified Mile-Dial today at
Your Mileage Merchant's Conoco station...
FREE. There's a heavy demand—go now.
