| READ THESE LETTERS. WE HAVE THOUSANDS MORE LIKE THEM. FAN FLAMES are so far ahead of all other spark plugs there is no comparison. E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} A. {Mr Adams} WRIGHT. 4649 Garfield Ave., St. {Capt. P. R. Strong} Louis, Mo. Mr. F. {Mr Friese} A. {Mr Adams} Blake, Los Banos, Cal. {Mr Calvert} , owns and operates ten Holt No. 75 Tractors. He uses FAN FLAME SPARK PLUGS, high duty type, on all machines. Mr. Blake positively states these plugs save him $400.00 a month on time saved in getting quick starts. Previously it has required from one-half to three hours to start each of the ten tractors. He now starts them on the first turn. On the basis of saving a half hour each day on ten tractors, or five hours, with two men's wages of seventy-five cents an hour, each, amounts to $15.00 a day saved. Two more tractors just ordered specified FAN FLAME SPARK PLUG equipment. (Signed) C. H. {Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} HANLY. State Agent for California. San Francisco, Cal. {Mr Calvert} Sept. 12, 1919. During the month of April, we received (1) set of spark plugs (FAN FLAMES) to try out in one of our motors that was giving us considerable plug trouble and wish to state that since that time we have been using the same plugs and do not seem to have any trouble at all. The FAN FLAME SPARK PLUG is, therefore, cheerfully recommended by this department, also by myself. Yours very truly, JOHN GIBSON. Chief Engineer, Fire Department, City of Mount Vernon, N. Y. Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 15, 1919. We were greatly annoyed with our automobile and, after having it properly adjusted by motor experts, we found we were unable to even start the engine. To our surprise, this engine started at once with the use of a full set of FAN FLAME SPARK PLUGS, and today it is one of our most satisfactory cars. The gasoline consumption has been greatly reduced. (Now using four sets). W. F. {Mr Friese} BRACY. Bracy Bros. Hardware Co. We placed eight of the FAN FLAME SPARK PLUGS in a 1915 Cadillac Eight, which has been run over 35,000 miles, and after starting the car noticed at once that the motor was much quicker. We made what is known here as the Twenty-sixth Street hill on high, a feat the car would never do, even when new. We then made several other very steep hills, and the motor at no time kicked, and never appeared to be under stress. You certainly have a very superior spark plug. (Signed) M. {Mr Moon / Mr Moore} LEIBLE, JR. {Mr James Royce} Vulcan Rubber Co., Erie, Pa. {Mr Paterson} My Overland Country Club was recently equipped with FAN FLAME SPARK PLUGS. This plug has given excellent satisfaction. On a recent inspection trip through the State of Georgia, covering eight hundred miles, going over some unsurfaced clay roads, following heavy rains, I averaged twenty (20) miles per gallon of gasoline.
