Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
Ernest R. Breech, chairman of the board, Ford Motor Company, has spent his life making American wheels turn-with General Motors; as head of North American and Bendix Aviation.
COMPETITIONS TIE SPARK OF OIL PROGRESS
"America's automotive engineers know that no
matter what the requirements of tomorrow's engine
might be the oil industry will be ready with
efficient, economical fuels. Intense competition among
America's many oil companies guarantees
this kind of continuous progress.
"The tiny spark in the combustion
chamber of the first crude
gasoline-powered automobile
engine triggered a great explosion.
It set off a chain reaction
of economic and social progress
in this country undreamed of
50 years ago. It literally reshaped
the face of America.
"The role of the automobile
is easy to see. Yet many people
take for granted the abundant
flow of economical. high quality
fuels on which this nation's
progress has fed. But in the automotive
industry we are very
conscious of the oil industry's
magnificent accomplishments.
For example: Today's gasoline
is at least 50% better than it
was when I started out in the
automobile business-30-odd
years ago. Yet, excluding the
increased taxes, gasoline costs
very little more than it did way
back then.
"This quality boost at a bargain
price cannot happen in a
monopolistic or state-controlled
industry. It needs the spur of
competition. And, like automobile
makers, oil companies constantly
engage in vigorous competition.
A never-ending flow of
superior new fuels and lubricants
is the result.
"Where men are free to compete
we can always look for new
achievements and new gains for
the customer."
