		<title>&#8220;The padlock that makes Mr. Slocum shudder.&#8221; Mr. Slocum hates that padlock on Smith&#8217;s Car Repair Shop. He should. His car is eight years old &#8211; ripe for a breakdown. The town&#8217;s only other mechanic is booked for weeks ahead. We&#8217;re all in the same fix. The average car is over 7 1/2 years old &#8211; and almost half our mechanics are gone. Repair work is piling up: Repair parts, too, are notably lacking. All in all, there&#8217;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 &#8230; 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. &#8230;.. 1945 Tide Water Associated Oil Company War Bond Ad, A5783A. 19450917</title>
