Ike Crade Is The Answer To Phillips 66 Fine Motor Oils
Mother Nature couldn’t be
beaten the day she made the
Tiger Swallowtail butterfly—
and she was doing a mighty
fine job when she produced the
crudes that go into Phillips 66
Motor Oils, too!
Then, Phillips special refin-
ing processes, Phillips practi-
cal skill and know-how, turned
these exceptionally fine crudes
into fine lubricants . . . lubri-
cants that have what it takes to
do an honest-to-goodness job
of protecting your engine. Ask
lor Phillips 66 Motor Oil or
Phillips 66 Premium MotorOil.
Phillips 66 Motor Oil has
made thousands and thou-
sands of friends . . . and has
chalked up an enviable record
covering billions of miles of
satisfactory performance!
Phillips 66 Premium Motor
Oil is brand new! It cleans!
It prevents bearing corrosion!
It resists high temperatures
and high pressures! In short,
this oil is made especially for
motorists who want something
extra-special in lubrication.
You’ll like them both . . .

CONFIDENCE
The consumption of any transaction at a bank involves,
to a limited degree, institutional policy. A single deposit in-
vokes the element of trusteeship and a single credit advance-
ment embraces the element of confidence.
Confidence does not travel a one way street . . . Such
progress as we may enjoy as a banking institution is but a
barometer of community growth and development and re-
flects mutual confidence between employer and employee; be-
tween the owners of money and the custodians of it.

softer they “roll with the punch'', are harder to cut,
bruise or blow out.
