ITEM:  Original 1968 Texaco Gasoline vintage print ad featuring Jack Benny.  Condition is Used. Shipped via USPS First Class Mail. 

DESCRIPTION:  1968 Texaco ad was printed in black and white,  measures approximately 8.25" X 11", and was printed on standard general interest or automotive quality paper, not the premium paper utilized by National Geographic.  Due to lower quality paper, there has been some minor aging discoloration to the original bright white open space, which now ranges from off-white to light beige at the edges.    Please zoom over the photo to better ascertain the condition of this ad, but please be advised that my scanner automatically lightens the background and I have no idea how to stop it from doing so.  The actual background of this ad is not nearly as light as the photo shows, it is probably one shade darker in person than in the photo, but aging discoloration is low enough that ad is still attractive to look at.  Other than aging discoloration that is consistent with ads this old that were not printed on premium quality paper, ad is  excellent condition and contains no markings, bends, wrinkles, folds, tears, stains, or water damage.  Price has been set lower due to heavy aging.  File: WB 19

SHIPPING: Shipping will only take place on Wednesday and Saturday, unless I happen to visit my local grocery store, which operates as a satellite post office. If so, I will mail item on that day. Otherwise, payments received between Sat 8:01 AM and Tuesday at 11:00 PM will ship on Wednesday and payments received between 11:01 PM Tuesday and 8:00 AM Saturday will ship on Saturday.  Item(s) will be encased in a plastic protective sheet and mailed between two protective chipboards  to  greatly 
reduce chance item will be creased or otherwise damaged during shipment.

TRACKING #: First Class mail does not include tracking information. A tracking number can be obtained, but you will have to pay for tracking as postage that includes a tracking number starts at $4.47 and I am only charging $3.00 S & H.  If you want a tracking number and agree to pay for it, put your item in an ebay cart and ask me for an invoice to include tracking.  Ads with a tracking number will be shipped via media mail.

INVENTORY: I have 1,000's of car and truck ads dating back to 1905 and brochures dating to the late 1960's for sale, ask me for your favorite. Over 90% of brochures from 1965 to 1985 were collected by me from the Detroit Auto Show and then stored away until my retirement in 2015.  Collecting as many different car or truck ads and brochures is my hobby, and selling my duplicates allows me to buy more magazines looking for unique ads. I want you to be as happy with your selection as I am with my collection. Your purchase will be shipped within a plastic cover and covered by two chip boards in hopes of preventing any damage during shipping. If you are not happy with your purchase for any reason, your full purchase price will be cheerfully refunded upon return of this item in the same condition as shipped., and I will pay for return

BEST OFFERS ARE NOT CONSIDERED: I price my items fairly based on each item’s age, condition, and competitive items and therefore, I mark all of my items as “Do not accept offers.” However, ebay will often insert “accept offers” into my listings when they renew. I both phoned and emailed ebay to ask that they do not change my listings to “accept offers” without success. I sincerely apologize if you see an :”accept offers” on any of my listings, but that is ebay ignoring my request and me not having the additional 24 hours monthly it would take to change my items back to “Do not accept offers.”
