His day is long and busy and he often has to
stay late to finish up. So when you see
in the Humble Station shining after hours you'll
know Mac has had another busy day, working
on the home front.

Yep . . . folks noticed the light shining inside
the station 'way after closing time and they
knew Mac was working late again.
Mac is like most Humble Service Station men
today. He's trying to do the work of three or
four men. His help has gone to war and so have
most of the things he used to sell. But as long
as there's essential driving to be done Mac's
staying on the job to do his part.
He starts earlier and works later. He fights
the "black market" and urges all his customers
to stick to the rationing program in its entirety.
He shows them how sensible care saves repair;
and when help is short you'll see him wrestling
tires himself or helping with the grease job.

Also in the interest of conserving war-vital tetra-ethyl lead, P. A. W.
has directed that less of it be used in the manufacture of all Regular
gasoline. Consequently the octane number of this product has been
reduced from 72 to 70. .«
So, if your H mble Station is temporarily out of Esso Extra, or it
Humble Regular does not perform in your car like it did i- the past,
please remember that tetra-ethyl lead is really at war . . . just another
of those small sacrifices all of us at home are asked to make in the
interest of an earlier Victory.

Tetra-ethyl lead, when added to gasoline, raises the octane number of
the gasoline and reduces or eliminates motor "ping." But tetra-ethy! lead
has recently become a critical war material ... so critical that the
Petroleum Administration for War has directed all refiners of premium
grade fuels to limit their production of such gasoline to one-half the
amount produced during the six months prior to June 1944. This reduces
drastically the amount of premium gasoline available to civilians since
the armed forces must receive their requirements first.
It is heart-warming to know that in a period of
war and upheaval such as we are in, a close,
hotly-contested election can be held as it was in
a clean, honest fashion without undue strife or
bitterness.
War loads get the right-of-way on our i ,
lines, but despite unprecedented wartime?
demands for power there has been no
shortage of electricity on the home front.
Although over half (57%) of our entire
output now goes to war-essential indus-
tries and military establishments, your
household electric service is still depend-
able ... still cheap ... still one of the
smallest items in your monthly budget.
