There he goes into the wild blue yonder... Man,
• I’m beginning to feel like the ground crew at the
airport. Cars come crawling in... I pump ’em full
of Flying Horsepower, and z-o-o-o-o-m ... they take
off. Our improved MOBILGAS has perky pick-up
and pull-away pep ... spirited performance on any
road, any weather. And for leap-to-life starts on
shivery mornings,' you can’t beat new MOBILOIL.
It kicks out motor-killing dirt and grime... keeps
your engine MOBILOIL clean! Get your car in tip-
top condition for winter. We’ve got a real ground
crew now to give you the famous pre-war MAG-
NOLIA WINTERPROOF SERVICE.
