Gene's Complete Automotive Service Promotional Giveaway, "Automobile Expense Book with Slide Chart," 1945-1960
01
Artifact Overview
Gas station operators and mechanics advertised their services with promotional giveaways aimed at motorists. Expense books allowed a driver to detail a car's operating costs, while record books provided a place to document both routine maintenance and unexpected repairs. Savings account books could be used to track money stashed in the bank -- perhaps when saving for a new car.
