Description

Full color 10″ x 14″ ad that has a drawing of a man standing behind his Green Convertible staring at the smoke coming out of his exhaust and the headline explains that “Smoke Means Trouble. Do your gas coupons “Go Up In Smoke”?. In these wartime years, we knew that “If your car is a “smoker”, it’s likely to be a “gas-eater”…pouring part of your priceless ration out the exhaust, wasted!. That’s because smoke is usually a sign of excessive engine wear. And these days, that might mean a car laid up for the duration. Excess wear and wasted gas can be prevented. One of the best preventives is a motor oil that doesn’t break down in the blast furnace heat of modern motors…Insulated HavolineInsulated means that Havoline is extra tough…especially processed to protect your motor at extremes of both heat and cold. Havoline is distilled, too…free from carbon-forming impurities that take the pep out of performance”.
