the
beltwithout
a
buckle!
Belt buckles used
to be a
problem
in
service station opera-tion. When
the
attendant leaned over
a
fender
to
check
the
oil,
it was
hard
to
keep
his
belt buckle from scratchingthe
car.
To prevent anything like this happening
in a
Union
Oil
Station, Union
Oil
Company adopted
a
special belt
for the
Minute Men
to
wear—a belt without
a
buckle (see diagram)—every
bit of
metal
is
completely covered
by
leather!Designing
new
wrinkles
in
wearing apparel
is
typical
of
the lengths to which
the
Union Oil Minute Men go
to
give youextra service.
The
Minute
Men
want your business.
To
get
it, they
are
offering
a new and
better brand
of
service
—
based
on
speed,
courtesy
