We Are Proud of so LITE ' (UK U* PAT OFF) A PERFECT GASOLINE To make gasoline is one thing. To make good gasoline is another. But to make a gasoline that is superior to all of its kind is &n achievement of which we are justly proud. To make high-test gasoline is not an unusual achievement for a skilled refiner, hut to make a high-test gasoline that sacrifices nothing in power —that is worthy of note. Solite is a light, volatile, high-test gas* oline. It has every element of efficiency of any high-test gasoline, but, in addiv tion, it sacrifices nothing. It drives the piston the full stroke under power. Solite costs a little more but it is made for the man who is willing to pay a little more to get quicker action. Test the merits of Solite today.
