SOONER OR LATER YOU'RE GOING TO GET STUCK. There's nothing more aggravating than having your car break down on the road. Except maybe paying a twenty-mile towing charge and finding out the trouble was just a loose connection, like a coil wire or a battery cable. People have been going through this kind of aggravation for years. And we at Gulf think it's time something was done about it. We think that, in a country where people spend so much time behind the wheel of a car,they ought to know a little bit more about one. That's why we've compiled a little 24-page booklet called "How not to get stuck when you get stuck:" In this little booklet we tell you the things to look for when your car breaks down. And I we explain, in layman's terms, how a car works, how so many unexpected things can I go wrong, and what can be done about them. It covers everything from a loose elec trical connection to a blown-out muffler. Of course we're not suggesting that the booklet will make a master mechanic out of you. Some things you're going to have to leave up to someone who is. And that's also covered in the booklet. You'll find chapters on starting, stop ping, tune-ups, tires, fuel & oil, and all kinds of repairs and maintenance, and lots more. It's clear, informative, up-to-date, useful and free. Ifyou'd like a copy just write to: Gulf Consumer Information, Box 1403-A Houston, Texas 77001. We'll mail it to you right away. It won't stop your car from ever break ing down. In fact, you're almost certain to get stuck sometimes. But when you do, at least you'll know your coil from your rear end differential. GETTO KNOW GULF AND YOU'LL GET TO KNOW YOUR CAR.
