Sleek and powerful as greyhounds. Pnlmg up mileage. Tested as never before for flexibility in traffic—endur- ance on the open road. But look beneath the hood. Modern, high-compression motors need a modern power fuel. That’s why thousands have changed to ESSO, the Giant Power Fuel. It makes older cars give better results, New cars outdo themselves. ESSO costs a few cents more. But you’ll probably gain enough in extra miles of a smoother running moym to more than offset the slightly higher cost per gallon. Remember, ESSO is more than gasoline. It isa quick-on- the.trigger, extra powerful, anti-knock fuel. ESSO is on sale at the silver-colored ESSO pumps. Make sure you see the word “ESSO” on the pump globe. Then you’ll get the genuine. Then you’ll discover new speed, new power, new flexibility every mile you drive with ESSO.
