according to Frank J. Fahey of Uos-

Itasor Company, who recently roturred
from tho Continent on tho Aqultejiln,
Mr, Fahey spent ten weeka touring
through Great Hrltaln, France, Holglum,

carefully studied business conditions,
Discussing conditions nbrond, Mr, Fahey

Germany's rapid recovery Is checked
by a lack of materials which could be
aceurcd from this country, Mr. Fahey
said. Ho expressed tho belief that a
loan by this country for purchases
within our borders would bo a good
stroke of business.
"In Germany I saw good crops nnd

tnrougti old Jvlarblehead, Mass.,
from eastern. Maine to the New

) a real pleasure today, largely because
gasoline and motor oil can be obtained
so conveniently. Socony service has
done much to make this possible.
The fine quality of Socony gasoline is
in keeping with the high standard of
Socony service. Motorists depend upon
it as they do upon the water supply of
their city qr town. The harmful effects
of .poorly refined motor fuels mean
nothing to Socony users. Most of them
knowbyactuah-omparisonwhatSocony
quality means in cleanness, power and
mileage.
Socony gasoline Vaporizes easily, but still
possesses the power-giving elements that
insure full mileage to every gallon. Its
efficiency isn't lowered simply to give it
quick-starting qualities. If you are inter
ested in economy, juse Socony gasolino
regularly.
Look for the red, white and blue Socony
sign.
