SOCONY Motor Gasoline is the new name the Standard Oil Com¬ pany of New York has given to its nigh-gra4e automobile gasoline—the best which years of expenence and the most careful study have taught it how to make.
The SOCONY sign is a sure guide for the motorist who wants a high- grade, powerful and uniform fuel. lAVie best garages carry the SOCONY sign, because SOCONY Motor Gaso¬ line is the best gasoline.
i SOCONY Motor Gasoline is the most economical gasoline you can use. It is a straight-distilled, homogeneous product, not a mixture—with the same power in tne last drop in your tank as there was when the tank was full.
Look for the red, white and blue SOCONY sign, and ask for SOCONY Gasoline by name.
