c. 1930s-1940s; Kendall Refining Co. - Bradford, PA
Large printed cloth service station banner promoting Kendall Motor Oil's famous "2000 Mile Oil", featuring the brand's red and black two-finger logo can beside bold typography reading "ROAD PROVEN BY MILLIONS!" and "CHANGE NOW TO SUMMER GRADES." Constructed of heavy cotton with brass grommets along the hem, this sign would have been displayed at local filling stations during seasonal oil change promotions.
Founded in 1881, Kendall Refining Co. was a pioneer in Pennsylvania's early petroleum industry, introducing the first motor oil guaranteed for 2,000 miles of driving - a major marketing milestone that helped define the brand's national identity through the midcentury.
