All cars, the top-righted program created for the Rio Grande Oil Company. Up on the sleeves, calling all cars, attention all cars, brought gas 92 regarding a murder. Joe Marcinaga, a Japanese, Scott Bannon, Nona Salen, that's all frozen question.

The Rio Grande Oil Company has received the following letter signed by Gerald Ehrich. As a petroleum refinery engineer, I have followed with interest in your advertising of real-grandy crack gasoline. I am familiar with the unique processes used in your cracking plants, which are far in advance of those used by any other refineries.

I am glad to testify that your claims of the advantages of crack gasoline are entirely truthful. In fact, I believe you unbeknownst to the periodicities of crack gasoline. But I do question your statement that Rio Grande-backed gasoline powers more police cars, ambulances, fire engines and other emergency equipment than any other brand.

How can you prove that the sweeping statement? Well, Mr. Erickson, we conclude every claim we make for Rio Grande-cracked gasoline. You know that our patented cracking process gives our gasoline exclusive advantage. In the lifting city contract, we talked with Commodence Chemists and Engineers and induced these officials to test Rio Grande de Croix against any other gasoline.

The result is that the leading cities and counties of California and Arizona now specify Rio Grande de Croix gasoline next place of it. So, Mr. Erika, if you will add the number of police cars, fire engines and other emergency equipment operated by Arizona's largest city, Phoenix, and its largest county, the Metacopa for the cars operated by other California cities and opened in firstly, Maryville, Fresno,

Baker Steel, Los Angeles, and San Diego County, and many others, you will find the vast majority of the emergency cars in the territory where we are brandy and sold, you will brand the cracks because it gives the best performance of any gasoline they can buy.
