my baby's drowning
A RAGING FLOOD wept down on this Standard Service
Man as he was delivering a customer's car. He jumped clear.
Then a mother's agonized cry a tiny girl struggling in
the swirling water
Back into the flood he leaped and caught her hand!
Over and over they rolled pummeled by boulders, dragged
for blocks before he could draw her to safety. And then he
lay long weeks in the hospital. Later this letter came: "After
nearly a month of searching, I've found the Standard Serv
ice Man who saved my daughter's life. A mother's thanks
will always go with him."
One case in a million, yes! But Standard Service Men
are forever "coming to the rescue" of motorists with just
the products, services and attentions needed. Depend on them.
