"You may feel there Is little ! danger of your car going off the road before the war's end.

"In many cases this can be avoided by proper care of your j automobile; and Summer-proofing is designed to do just this. Realizing that it will be difficult or in some cases impossible for workers to keep on the job un less they keep their cars on the job, too, Mobilgas dealers have organized to give prompt and effective service to prevent the breakdowns and delays which may follow if automobiles are not given proper periodic care."
