The Supreme ENGINE PERFORMANCES of 1929 were made with TEXACO MOTOR SPIRIT and TEXACO MOTOR OIL The world's greatest records of engine performance recently established on the new and better Texaco Motor Spirit and Texaco Motor Oil, prove conclusively the superiority of Texaco products under the most strenuous engine conditions. If these products can produce world’s endurance records in engine performance, it is obvious that they will produce better results in the operation of your car. The Texas Company realises the tremendous importance of air experiments and air service, and for this reason operates a fleet of seven huge ’planes in its daily work. This enables Texaco Motor Spirit and Texaco Motor Oil to be tested under conditions that are unparalleled on the ground. Because Texaco, the New and Better Motor Spirit, and Texaco Motor Oil have proved themselves conclusively in the air, they are the most desirable products for use in the car on the road.
