Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
Trackwalker with a PH.D.
Melvin James, a friendly, sandy-haired man
in his early forties, may well be the world’s only
trackwalker with a doctor's degree.
Since 1953, Dr. Janes has trudged many a mile
along railroad tracks from Maine to Texas. His
mission: to check with his own eyes the killing
power of a unique railroad-bed weed destroyer.
Weeds are a menace to railroad men. They are
a fire hazard; wheels slip on them; they hold
moisture which rots the ties and undermines the
roadbed; they make maintenance difficult. More
than 50 kinds of weeds grow along the tracks.
Some die easily and stay dead-but many are
too tough for ordinary weed killers.
When Mobil scientists developed a promising
new oil-based killer-AGRONYL R-Dr. Janes
took to the tracks to check it out. It killed the
weeds, all of them. Moreover, it’s heavy and
doesn.t blow on to adjacent farmland. It leaves a
film that discourages new growth (and also helps
keep the tracks from rusting).
You can.t buy AGRONYL R herbicide for your
garden weeds. It wouldn.t work in your home
sprayer anyway. It was created for a specific job
-and it does that job without equal.
In the same way, Dr. Janes and his fellow
scientists develop countless other MOBIL products
for the special needs of your business, your car,
your home. Whether it's a motor oil or a gasoline
or a gear lubricant, it's unique in its field. And
you can depend on its quality-for it is a
product of Mobil’s master touch in oil.
