A PEEK AT THE PAST
The Good Old Days
by Leonard DeFrain

For Michigan motorists, Standard Red Crown gasoline, no increase in price, 5 gallons for 81¢ - tax paid, try it.

It has always been a great gasoline – the best non-ethyl motor fuel you could buy. Now it’s still better. It’s up in anti-knock! What does that mean? What advantages will you enjoy when you use this higher anti-knock gasoline? The answer to that – more convincing than any claims you might read here, is the result you’ll get when you actually drive your car with Standard Red Crown in the tank.

Try it, try 5 gallons in your own car. Drive in where you see the familiar Red Crown Globe and get 5 gallons or more of this advanced standard Red Crown gasoline. Then put it to the test. Try it for quicker get-away in traffic. Try it for climbing power in the hills. Try it for smoothness and longer mileage out on the big highways.

This above ad appeared in the April 1933, Harbor Beach Times. Gas is now about $4 a gallon. What’s going to stop it from going to $5 or even $10 a gallon? Nothing.
