Keep Your Gasoline Storage Full 



Becouse of the splendid cooperation ol service company patrons last year, our state- 

 wide "Keep Filled" Program proved to be very effective in the Spring peak emergency. 

 The 1944 planting season is but sixty days awoy. The need for keeping your fuel stor- 

 age full at all times now is even greater than o year ago. There are three reasons: 





« S*lectiv« ftervice inductions are making deep inroads among our serrice company petroleum 



' * tank truck servicemen. Many axm scheduled to leave just about the time Spring «rork begins. 



These men will have to be replaced by men who will be strange to the work and uniomiliar 



to the territory. 



2 Our fighting forces are now^ taking 40% of all petroleum products produced in this country. 



* The balance will be apportioned betMreen agriculture and civilian needs. We have been 

 assured that agriculture wll be given top priority; however, it appears that both civilian and 

 agricultural fuels vrill be extremely short with the advent oi the farm w^ork season. 

 Remember that this tremendous volume must be refined, allocated, transported, dispatched, 

 and delivered. Manpower and transport truck deliveries mil interfere all along the way. « - 



3 Other patroleum marketers are experiencing similar difficulties. We do not believe thot it is ^ 



* safe to rely on the thought, "In a pinch I can call on the other fellow." Your b*st protection ' ■-■- " .. 



is to have ample storage space for fuels and permit your Blue Seal Serviceman to keep this S 

 storage filled on every regular route call. 



Build a Reserve of Motor Oil Now 



How much lubricating oil do 70U bcnre on band? Do you have enough to carry through 



the heavy work oi Spring, Summer, and Fall of 1944? Ample oil reserves behind an 



army is an essential part oi victory. A goodly supply oi lubricating oil on iarms today 



is also an important part oi safety. Anything can happen at either place, and it is the 



army or the farm that has plenty oi lubricating oil that will come through with a margin 



of safety. 



Blue Seal, "Master," and Penn Bond are today the same top quality lubricants that 



thousonds of progressive tractor farmers have preferred for the past seventeen years. 



In this family of motor oils we have the correct type and grade to meet the needs of 



heavy duty service on Illinois farms. 



Have your Blue Seal Serviceman deliver your requirements on his next regular call. 



In addition to motor oils, check your supply of greases. Be sure thot you have ample 

 Luco Lube, Altuninate Gun, Aluminate Cup, Hi-Temp Bearing, Harvester, and other 

 Blue Seal grease specialties. 



Get Your Tractor in Shape Early 



Have you checked over your tractor? Does it need an over-houl, or just a a few replace- 

 _ ment parts? How act your spark plugs? 



<^jV Get your bid in early. Most repair shops are heavily loaded with work — and they're 



short-handed too. 



And another thing — use Blue Seal Anti-Rust on machinery after each operation during 

 Spring work. Anti-Rust protects plowshares, disks, grain drills, cultivator shovels, 

 chains, V-type pulleys, and many other ports of mochinery whose effectiveness is 

 destroyed by rust. See your Blue Seal Serviceman today for special introductory 

 package. 



For further help on these timely suggestions, see your Blu* Seal Petrdeua Serviceman 

 or contact your local service company office.
