Few advertisements from the early automobile era make the link between a brand and the open road as directly as this one, which presents Texaco Golden Motor Oil as the lubricant trusted to keep "the cars of a nation" running. Texaco, founded in Texas in 1901 as the Texas Company, grew into one of the largest oil marketers in the United States by building a network of service stations along highways. Motor oil ads of this kind were a major part of how companies competed for drivers during the decades when car ownership was spreading rapidly across the country. Worth noticing is the broad, national claim in the headline, which spoke to a public that was just beginning to rely on the automobile for daily life.
