“The padlock that makes Mr. Slocum shudder.” Mr. Slocum hates that padlock on Smith’s Car Repair Shop. He should. His car is eight years old – ripe for a breakdown. The town’s only other mechanic is booked for weeks ahead. We’re all in the same fix. The average car is over 7 1/2 years old – and almost half our mechanics are gone. Repair work is piling up: Repair parts, too, are notably lacking. All in all, there’s a pretty dark cloud over our heads. Except for two shining silver linings: First is the man who services cars, bless him! The lad who prevents trouble … with good oil and grease, and lots of pains. Silver lining number two: which is 100% Pennsylvania crude, passed through three refining processes. And the 5 Veedol chassis lubricants that fight off wear from vital chassis parts. ….. 1945 Tide Water Associated Oil Company War Bond Ad, A5783A. 19450917
