What's this picture doing
in a gasoline ad ?

SHOPPERS searching for bigger values! Buy
ers looking for a greater dollar’s worth! What’s
this got to do with gasoline buying?
It’s got a lot to do with it! Plenty to do with it!
Why? Because these shoppers are looking for
greater values! And you ought to apply the same
thinking to gasoline. You buy gasoline more fre
quently than other purchases. It is an important
item in your lamuy s ouaget. i ou owe it
to yourself to go where the values are!
American Gas has always been the
best regular gasoline buy. But now
we have created an even bigger buy!
A new gas of greater value!
Science has recently found a way to
give you a new value in regular gas
oline. Value not possible before—because
the facilities did not exist to make it.
American Oil Company
New processes were perfected ... patented. New
additions to what was already the world’s greatest
refining unit. We doubled our capacity...improved
the gas. We are now able to build-in—refine-in—
extra values that mean a lot to you and your car.
The new gas is ready—NOW I And because of
its extra built-in values we call it New Value
American Gas. It means New Value for you—
greater value for your gasoline dollar...
greater value from the money already
invested in your automobile.lt is known
as a “sweet” gas — meaning it’s pure,
free from undesirable odors—and
no added chemicals. You’ll say it
gives “sweet” performance, too, in
your car.
Buy your gas on VALUE—and you
will buy the New Value American Gras!
