Description
Three color 5″ x 13 1/2″ ad for Quaker State Motor Oil. This ad has a boy and his grandfather both working with a model of an old sailing ship. The boy is busy working on it, holding a lifeboat in his hands, and his grandfather, wearing a sea cap and holding a pipe and observing very adroitly, over the headline that says “From the same block of wood:. The ad, the says, “Although these two ‘old salts’ started with the same fine wood, you can plainly see the results of fifty years’ difference in skill and experience. We manage to get different results, too, when we refine the world’s finest Pennsylvania crude oil. For we also have almost half a century of skill and experience to draw upon – plus the finest refining facilities in the industry. It’s a simple matter to find out what a difference Quaker State quality makes in your car’s behavior. Won’t you stop at the friendly green-and-white sign today?”
