AMERICANS have it on the
authority of President
Roosevelt, himself, that when
Jimmy Doolittle & Company
winged away for Tokio they
took off from "Shangri-la."
Now, "Shangri-la" does not
appear in our book as an oil
producing country. So we won
der how the fuel for Doolittle's
bombers got to that mythical
hod.
Frankly, we don't know uie
answer. But we do know that
on many seas tankermen are
braving storms and submarines.
Through Hirohito, Hitler, and
High Water, they're carrying
oil-supplies to power our forces
of land, tea and air. They're
delivering the goods th
goods to help finish Hitler!
Hirohito, too!
Standard can't say whether
they've already been to "Shangri-la"
a country which ap
pears on neither map nor chart
But Standard can assure you
that when the orders read
"Shangri-la," those boys will
get there somehow. Wherever
it is, Mr. President whenever
you say. General Doolittle
they'll deliver.
Some of these stout lads work
for us. Some work for other oil
companies. To every on of
them our hat is off. Yours, too,
no doubt. So uphold their arm.
Back them up by remembering
always that oil is ammunition.
Vfhether you use much or little
