| The picture below shows a larger view of this Old New Orleans Louisiana Battistella’s Texaco Service Gas Station Advertising Flier. The flier is not dated but it is believed to be from the 1950s. It features three employees in uniform, a Texaco gas station with several signs, gas pumps, awnings, cars, and even an advertising pick up truck for road service. The back side is blank. It is printed in green and red and reads as follows: READY TO SERVE YOU
ALL DAY – NIGHTS TOO!
“THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR QUALITY”
“TEXACO” (on three signs)
“THE BEST FRIEND YOUR CAR EVER HAD” (sign on pickup truck)
