LIKE NEW - RENEWS MOTOR PEP
AND RESTORES MAXIMUM
YES. SIR—You yill notice a definite improvement in *«£
the performance of your motor after you have had ft
vitalized by this new process. The reason your car has
lost so much of the pep. snap, and power that it had
when it was new is simply that gum, sludge, grit and
dirt have accumplated in your motor causing sluggish,
inefficient operation. Piston rings are prevented from
flexing easily and valve stems, sticking in their .guides,
eanot operate properly. The result is loss of compres-
sion. loss of potfer, waste of fuel,-and excessive wear.
By simply softening and removing these harmful de-
posits from the vital parts of your motor with our new
Graco Motor Vitalizer. we restore maximum per-
formance to your motor. .
