WILL V. WORRY SAYS...
t
"You'd better
get scared !"
"That's right . . . scared about whether
your car will really see you through.
Already, it's probably the oldest car
you ever owned . . . with a long way
still to go . . .
"And summer's extra hard on cars.
Heat increases friction wear on
moving parts. Batteries often run
dry. Tires take a terrible beating. . .
"So get a little scared . . .and see your Eseo Dealer right now. Let him put
in fresh summer-grade Esso Motor Oil. Let him
give you correct summer-protective lubrication.
Let him check your battery and tires. Don't risk
wear that needn't happen. Protect yourself today..."
Be safe, not sorry. . . see your Esso Dealer
and SAVE THAT CAR!
