GASOLINE
by the
99
year
Moter trucks have become se indispensable a factor in
today's business and industrial routine that it is new the
general practice among large fleet operators te contract in
-i advance for their future supplies of gasoline.
The big majority of such concerns in and about this city
public utility corporations, wholesale distributors, coal re-
tailers, department stores, etc. arrange with The Atlantic
Refining Company for deliveries throughout the year.
Their choice is Atlantic because Atlantic means de
pendabilityin quality and uniformity of product, and in
SERVICE.
They take into account the Atlantic resources and
production facilities. They appreciate the advantage of a
delivery service from a large, modern refinery located
"right en the ground" the chances for delays which it
eliminates and the constant supply which it assures.
The Atlantic distributing system is one of the most highly
developed of its kind in the world. Its service te large
consumers is nowhere excelled for efficiency, promptness
and careful consideration of each customer's individual
needs and operating conditions.
This is the month when concerns operating trucks and
commercial cars in numbers should be discussing with
this Company their 1922 gasoline requirements.
