— predicts NORMAN BEL GEDDES
*Vehicles will be routed through the cities of 1960 on thoroughfares specifically designed to carry traffic moving at several established speeds,” says Mr. Geddes, authority on future trends.
"A network of 50-mile-an-hour Express Highways in the city will handle all traffic going ten blocks or more, creating a continuous flow of cars, uninterrupted by stop lights, intersections or pedestrians.
"On Local Streets, elevated sidewalks will carry pedesirian traffic above streets... main building entrances and shop windows will be on second story level. Trucks will be loaded and cars parked in open areas beneath buildings, Thus the entire width of street— from building-line to buildings line=—will be clear for motor traffic...”
ge but TODAY, 9 4 miles in bare Stop and Go
OU can drive up to ten miles on the amount of gasoline wasted by your 30 daily stops! 30 stops a day is the nation-wide average. The costliest kind of driving you do, both in time and money, is stop and go.
While leading traffic authorities are planning “the City
of Tomorrow,”
Shell engineers have developed a fuel,
Super-Shell, made especially to meet today’s driving prob-
lem today.
They have found a way to rearrange the entire chemical structure of gasoline... actually they have balanced it.
Automotive engineers have a term for Super-Shell. They call it “motor-digestible,” so quickly and completely is its energy changed into power... at all motor speeds. You'll cut the cost of your stop and go by the regular use of Super-Shell, There’s a Shell dealer near you.
