Notes
Caption text at head of sheet continues: Shell spirit is singularly rich in natural benzol in correct proportion with the petrol to assure perfect combustion. Being a great engine-cleaning agent there is no risk of sticky valves or a fouled engine. Every drop is converted into power, hence the high mileage of Shell.
