T F YOU put your spark plugs 
-*• in a vise and exerted all 
your strength to subject them 
to the greatest possible pressure 
}’ou would expect the porcelain 
to crumble. 
Yet that’s virtually what they 
must stand in your motor. 
As you get under way, the 
explosions in your cylinders be¬ 
come so rajiid that the force 
they exert is practically con¬ 
tinuous. 
In Champion-Toledo Depend¬ 
able Spark Plugs the shoulders 
of the porcelain insulators are 
cushioned against this tremen¬ 
dous pressure. 
I'he two patented copper gas¬ 
kets that protect the porcelain 
where the pressure comes are 
lined with asbestos so that the 
metal cannot touch the porce¬ 
lain. 
That’s one reason why Cham¬ 
pions are so much more durable 
and dependable than ordinary- 
spark plugs. 
Get the Champion-Toledo 
Plug designed to serve your kind 
of motor (your dealer or garage 
man knows which one) and you 
have assured maximum efficiency 
and durability. 
Be sure that the name “Cham¬ 
pion” is on the porcelain—not 
merely on the box.
