■*by *t*-“}&le ,„, f - tVs.''V* V &A JK UNION SMotor Spirit is non-detonating —it explodes like smokeless powder in a naval gun ... with a progressive and sustained explosion. It thrusts the piston down with a powerful but continuous impulse not a sledge hammer blow. This means more compression , more power, greater efficiency, and more miles to the gallon. o tT £ o m gad, some of you motorists are cruel to your Carburettors. Just because you have a choke button fitted on the car you seem to think it must be used at all sorts of weird and wonderful times. I’m a nervous wreck since my experience yesterday with one of the ‘Russian wrestler’ type of drivers who nearly choked me to death. Someone must have told him that in cold weather the Carburettor needs the choke. I wish someone else would tell him to buy decent motor spirit and forget his choke. I pray that some day he’ll fill up with Union and learn that the choke is an emergency measure, not a permanent necessity. “What his cylinder heads are like I hate to think, knowing the amount of pure petrol I was pumping up to them while he was choking me nearly to extinction. And the waste of it! When he works out his mileage he’s going to say ‘l’ll have to scrap that Carburettor, or fit new jets!’ Me, mind you. Scrap me, w’heri I’m in the prime of life and my jets are perfect. He blames me, when he persists in buying a motor spirit that won’t vaporize properly until it’s thoroughly warm. “If he bought a lively spirit like Union he wouldn’t have to strangle me; he wouldn’t have unused spirit pouring past his pistons, thinning down his oil, and scoring his cylinder walls; he wouldn’t have to change into second to go over a 1 in 15 hill; he wouldn’t have to stop at the pump so frequently and he wouldn’t be making rude remarks about a hardworking Carburettor. And that’s that!” UNION the luni-deforudituj MOTOR, SPIRIT SSS
