“Next to baseball I know motor fuel best. I’ve sold it
for years. I sell it now—all winter long—down in
Memphis, after the season’s over.
“And let me tell you, folks, it takes a leader to deliver
the goods—in baseball or in motor fuel. That’s why you
can depend on Essolene—the largest oil organization in
the world is behind it. When the Standard Oil Company
of New Jersey says—‘Essolene guarantees smoother per*
formance’ that certainly means you’ll get smoother
performance.
“I use nothing but Essolene and Essolube Motor 00 in
my car.
“You’ll get quick starting, smooth pick-up, mileage and
economy with Essolene that you never could get in the
old-fashioned gasolines. Take my word for it.”
