Transcript

The Rio Grande oil company. I'll send this police calling oil cars, attention oil cars. Born in connection with safe robberies, one Pete Galitzon thought to be driving a strip down Ford Roadster. He's in a company with two other boys.

He's scribed as follows, short, stocky, approximately 15 years old. This boy is slippery if found, arrest and hold. That's all, frozen food. If you are one of those many motorists who feel that one gasoline is about as good as There's another, how do you account for the fact that more police cars, fire engines, ambulances,

and other emergency equipment use Rio Grande cracked gasoline than any other? Just what is cracked gasoline, Mr. Lindley? Cracked gasoline is just what the name indicates. Cracked gasoline. You know coffee is cracked, that is ground.

Before you can get the full good out of it, wheat grains are cracked and recracked and the chaffers thrown away before a fine, great of flour can be obtained. So it is with Rio Grande cracked gasoline.

Rio Grande is great modern refinery, gasoline is literally cracked by terrific heat and pressure into millions, just billions of tiny parts. Non-usable units are drawn off and discarded entirely. The remaining gasoline atoms are pure energy atoms, ready to flash into driving power at the very first spark.

I see, that sounds convincing. It is convincing, Matt. So convincing that Los Angeles, Oakland, Berkeley, Fresno, Santa Barbara, San Diego, Maricopa County, Arizona, and many, many other cities and counties throughout this territory have specified Rio Grande de Croc Gasoline month after month in preference to any other brand.

Thousands of new motorists are turning to Rio Grande de Croc. But isn't this a special gasoline that Rio Grande makes for police cars? No. It is a special process, a patented sin-clear cracking process, but it is not a special gasoline for police cars only.
