^UMdLE
Recently Esso joined hands with 4 other affili
ated companies in a new company to serve you
bettier coast-to-coast. Esso is now imited with
Carter, Humble, Oklahoma and Pate to form
the largest domestic oil company in the nation.
This new organization is Humble Oil & Refin
ing Company. The name comes from an oil field
and a town near Houston, which was the origin
of Humble Oil Company, almost 50 years ago.
That’s why you’ll ndW see the big red letters
“HUMBLE” on Esso Stations.
And if your Esso Dealer’s smile now s^ms a
little bit broader, he has good reason. Already
No. 1 on the East Coast, Esso now brings its
customers all the added benefits of the great
Humble name.
EVEN BtTTER PRODUCTS AND VALUES
Humblp is America’s Leading Energy Company.
As the nation’s leader in petroleum research.
Humble will continue to bring you the best of
new products first—at your Esso D«der. Prod
ucts like Esso Extra, the fine premium gaso- ^
line used by more motoriats in jhe Esso area ^
than any other premium. Like the remarkable
new Uniflo Motor Oil, the all-weather motor
oil that leaves your engine clean, redacts en
gine wear—and the revolutionary “No Squeal”
Atlas Bucron Tire.
With the nation’s largest oil reserves and un
surpassed refining and transport facilitic^s.
Humble opens the way to better values through
greater efficiencies;
And through its network of more than 30,000
service stations. Humble will make every effort
to give you superior service and products of
consistent high quality coast-to-coast.
ONE THINS WON'T CHANBE
One thing our new company name will not
change is the valued friendships aa^ close rela
tionships we have developed togethinr with our
customers, our communities and our ^ploy-
ees. And the Esso Sign will coo^ane to be
“World’s First Choice” fw everythiiig y^ need
for Happy Motoring—including williig service,
even finer products, and the best of values.
