Description
Three color 5 1/2″ x 8 3/4″ ad that talks about some of the “Service” that is performed at their “Station”. In an attempt to convince you that their Marfak Lubrication “protects car chassis better, longer” they tell you about the Rub Test. The ad has a picture of a man in a Texaco uniform standing in front of his station rubbing a wheel bearing that he holds in his hand. The bearing has been greased (lubricated, excuse me) and the text explains how the Marfak forms a “fluid film” when rubbed with a finger, “yet it keeps a tough, protective ‘collar'”. This lubrication is claimed to provide protection for 1,000 miles and calls your Texaco Dealer, “the best friend you car ever had”.
