My station is fill on its own. My living's
got to come mostly from just you people
right here. I want your steady trade, so's
to build a real growing business. And
there's where it helps me a lot, I can tell
you, to be selling Conoco Germ Processed
oiL You see it makes customers and keeps
them for me. It's patented the only oil
that can Oil-Plate your engine. Meaning
that a definite part of this oil always
fastens direct to every working part . . .
forms a real Plating of oil, which can't
run down. Other oils will "dry off every
time you park, but Oil -Plating can't, so
youH never make any hard, grinding
starts. And that ends the worst wear of
all. Or when you're hitting it up all day,
you won't find this real Oil-Plating rub
bing right off, like just some plain little
drops of oil. Oil-Plating's not thinning out
either, nor burning right up. Which gives
you mighty solid reasons why Oil-Plating
means more mileage from your engine
and your Conoco Germ Processed oil.
Besides making customers, I get a kick
out of changing you to an oil I can
believe in myself, right to the limit.
