GREATEST VALUE BUY IN THE WORLD
Slow Up The
Bankroll
Why do you buy 'gas and oil? Sure!
To make the old bus do her duty
take you there and get you back.
That's the main reason anyone has
when they buy gas and oil. ' And of
course, Texaco products will do that
but they do MOKE.
Texaco speeds up the old bus but
goes easy on the bankroll. Texaco
oil and gas give you action and takes
care of your motor at the same' time
longer mileage, fewer repairs.
We realize that idle, claims have no
value the proof is in use of Texaco.
Our complete car service crankcase,
tire, repair, car washing makes it
easy to give Texaco a trial. Drive in.
