Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad that tries to put a face to the Service Station Attendants. The headline says “Morley Barnard. Dervice separates the boys from the Minute Men” over a picture of this smiling man already holding the gas nozzle in his hand ready to fill your tank. The text tells how a new customer pulled into his station in Cedar Hills, Oregon and “In 4 1/2 minutes we filled his tank with gasoline, checked his oil and tires, added clean water to his radiator and battery, washed his windows, brushed out his car, emptied his ashtrays and gave him his receipt”. The text goes on to explain how all of their employees are trained to provide service to this degree so why not stop there. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
