History- (from Wikipedia) Following the break-up of Standard Oil in 1911, the Standard Oil Company of New York, or Socony, was founded. In 1920, pany registered the name "Mobiloil" as a trademark. In 1931, Socony merged with Vacuum Oil to form Socony-Vacuum. The Mobil symbol of the winged red horse, Pegasus, has been pany trademark since its affiliation with Magnolia Petroleum Company in the 1930s.
Condition- This ad is in excellent condition with some slight roughness on the left edge and staple holes in the middle. The ad is the center spread of a magazine and measures about 20 ½ by 13 ½).
You can pick this up in Porters Lake. I do go into northend Halifax once a week during the lunch hour and could meet you there if that is easier.
