From Florida to Canada, these tests were con­ ducted, not by us, but by independent, unbiased research authorities, and when the returns were summarized, it was found that these motorists voted 9 to 1 in favor of Nu-Blue Sunoco! 9 out of 10 pro­ claimed it equal or superior to premium- priced gasolines they had used previously. To make a fair test, don’t dilute Nu-Blue. Sunoco with other gasoline. Let your tank run practically empty. Then put in Nu-Blue Sunoco. Compare it par­ ticularly with premium-priced gasolines. We’ll rest our case on your findings. / WINGHAM ADVANCE-TIMES at home,, and one son, Roy, Oakville; also -two sisters, Mrs. Jane Rosewell, Guelph; Mrs, Margaret Stewart, Wingham, and three brothers, Albert and James of Saskatoon, Sask,, and George Harper, Toronto.
