Transcript

The powerful motor cars on the road today are emergency cars. The police cars that enter your call for help. The fire engines that thunder through crowded streets of top speed. The ambulances that rush to the rescue of injured persons.

No city or county tries to economize on the gasoline for these emergency cars. They want the best gasoline that money can buy. And they specify Rio Grande cracked gasoline more than any other brand wherever it is sold.

Yet, surprising as it may seem, the cost of Rio Grande Crac gasoline is no higher than ordinary brands that lack the outstanding speed and power of Crac. All extra features of greater speed, greater power, faster acceleration, are just extra values that Rio Grande gives you.

You can use the same gasoline that has powered the emergency cars of Los Angeles, Oakland, Berkeley, Fresno, Merced, San Diego County, and Maricopa County in Arizona, and many, many others. Drive into the independent service station in your neighborhood that features Rio Grande Crac Gasoline and Sinclair Motor Oil.
