All cars, the copy-logger program, created by Rio Grande. There's no county sheriff's office calling all cars, attention all cars broadcast, 248 regarding a missing person. Described as a male-American, 72 years, five feet eight inches, was last seen on March 22nd.

Noted by the Fresno County sheriff, that's all, Rosin Quill. I believe it's true, friends, that you get out of an automobile just about what you put into it. Fill your gas tank with a not-so-good gasoline and how will your car perform?

Not so good. Put in Rio Grande de Crac, and you get quicker starting, smoother acceleration, greater power, better mileage, and the top speed of which your car is capable, because all of these qualities are instilled into this superior gasoline.

And that explains why a certain group of knowing drivers selected Rio Grande de Crac. They wanted the gasoline that had all five of these qualities. They tested every available brand and found that Rio Grande de Crac had everything.

That is why more police cars, fire engines, ambulances, and other emergency equipment on the boulevards and highways of California today are powered by Rio Grande de Crac than any other brand. We are also proud of the fact that Rio Grande de Crac has the gasoline preferred by the head of the California State and federal government.

And equally happy that tens of thousands of your motorists have also chosen Rio Grande de Crac. If you've not done so, drop around at the red and white Rio Grande station in your neighborhood tomorrow and join the rest of us in getting police car performance with Rio Grande cracked the gasoline off the people and for the people.
