Society enjoys almost every aid to the easy passage of time and
new excitements are constantly in demand.
Aviation naturally forms one of the pleasurable means of whiling
away time, securing some of the exhilaration which adds so much
to the spice of life.
So there is the society aviator with his flying boat, as depicted in
the illustration.
Here as elsewhere, when conditions require excellent service,
Texaco is the brand.
Texaco Motor Oil for the lubrication and Texaco Gasoline for the
fuel.
"Practically no difficulties since using Texaco" is the report from
the aviator of the Thomas Flying Boat.
Texaco Quality and Service have eliminated the troubles in this
as in other cases. The quality and service which is to be found in
all Texaco products, and of value for all purposes in all countries.
You can find the same quality in the Red-Lone-Star and Green-T
oils sold in your town. When you need oil buy the "Made in
Texas" brands which are famous under all conditions for quality
and service.
