This great World War II era Vintage Ad was printed for the October, 1942 issue. These are wonderful advertisements, and we only have a limited number available.
This is a 2-page advertisement, and the actual framed and matted dimensions could be slightly different that the listing photo. Many times the colors between the 2 pages are slightly different, and sometimes the sizes and angles of the 2 pages are slightly different as well. The vertical joint will be slightly visible in the middle. We will align the 2 pages as best as possible to create a beautiful and historical wall hanging for you
Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
What to do about anti-freeze this fall
1-IF you saved your last winter’s anti-freeze…
Some of the ingredients of "Prestone" antifreeze
will last from one winter through the
next-those, for example, which protect the
car against freeze-up. But to give protection
against freeze-up is only one function of a
good anti-freeze. A good anti-freeze also performs
other functions, just as important. One
of these is to guard against rust and corrosion
. . . which is why all good anti-freezes
are `.inhibited." These inhibitors do wear
out; and when that happens the car is no
longer protected against clogging and overheating
caused by rust.
That is one of the reasons why you cannot
use an anti-freeze indefinitely . . . why,
for instance, we guarantee "Prestone" antifreeze
for ..a full winter's use," and no more.
New, fresh anli-freeze 6s alouays to be pref
erred over anl4-freeze oubieb bas go`Iiie beyond
a single ouinier's driving.
If, however, you decide to re-use your antifreeze,
take the following precautions:
If you stored your anti-freeze during the
summer, take it to your dealer be/a.rc putting
it back in the car. There are 2 good reasons.
A-To make sure that not dirt or foreign
matter has spoiled it. Cans frequently
rust through from the outside and from
the bottom. Dirt and foreign matter will
clog your cooling system badly.) If your
solution is brown or rusty-looking, don't
bother to take it to your dealer but discard
it at once. Be extremely cautious in this regard.
Your car is a valuable property: it is in
the interest of sound conservation to take all
reasonable precautions.
B-To have the strength checked…You
don’t know, definitely, what concentration
you had at the end of the season.
If your anti-freeze was ..alcohol base," you
almost certainly lost strength before you
took it out last spring. Even if you used
'`Prestone" anti-freeze, which contains no
boil-away alcohol, have the strength checked
just the same. You may have lost protection
through careless filling, slop-over at the
over-flow pipe, and leaks caused by road-shock
and wear-and-tear during driving.
if- you left your anti-freeze in your car,
and have been driving with it all
through the summer, point 8 (above) is even
more important, for obvious reasons.
These precautions are the very least you
can take to protect your car. Remember,
none of them will put back into the antifreeze
the rust and corrosion inhibitors
which were there when you bought it last
fall, and which have since been used up.
This is one of the sound technical reasons
why manufacturers guarantee anti-freeze for
only one winter's driving.
2-If you did not save your last winter’s anti-freeze…
See your dealer at once and get "Prestone"
anti-freeze installed in your car. As of the
date this advertisement goes to press (approximately
July 15th) it appears that there
will be enough `.Prestone" anti-freeze this
fall-after Army, Navy and lend-lease requirements
have been met-to supply all regular
users. We make this prediction because
we have increased our manufacturing facilities
and because there will be fewer cars on
the road this coming winter.
HAVE YOUR DEAI.ER CHECK YOUR CAR for
leaks, rust, sediment, or loose connections
which may have developed during summer
driving. Make sure your "Prestone" antifreeze
is used in a clean, tight cooling
system. Then you can forget the anti-freeze
problem for the rest of the winter. You will
be protected completely-against freeze-up,
boil-away, dangerous and obnoxious fumes,
rust and corrosion. You can place complete
confidence in new, fresh, full-strength
“Prestone” anti-freeze. It is guaranteed for
one full winter season.
