Just for the record, Texaco floundered the international oil embargo that The League of Nations placed Italy under after the Abyssinian campaign, doing much to remove what little credibility that organisation had left...

A poster like this in 1944... just playing the market by following popular sentiment, nothing else...

You can find them on Ebay all the time, this is one of the cooler-looking ones, others were a lot more boring.

Where's the Texaco campaign thingee- or is that Nazi family cartoon it? Pretty crass- but the US oil companies are kinda redneck.
Chevron bought Texaco out in 2001 but most of its stations went to Shell Oil- go figure.

Best regards,

The thingee from The Desert News, 23/November 1943:

And, as the US wasn't a member of the League of Nations, the Americans weren't bound by its resolutions - for this reason Texaco didn't flounder anything.
