	632k	SUPPLYING THE SINEWS. Gasoline for a submarine must be of the highest quality. The dangerous undertaking of the undersea boat demands the best. There is a very suggestive story in this illustration showing THAT GOOD GULF GASOLINE being delivered to the submarine D-1 (SS-17) at New London, Conn. preparatory to its participation in the maneuvers of the Atlantic squadron off the Massachusetts coast. Gasoline good enough for the submarine service is certainly good enough for you-and far better than others you can buy at the same price.

0847244	NR	STRANGLE .......HOLD BY THE DEEP SEA ARM The submarine service has been an indispensable arm of the U. S. Navy since 1900. After Pearl Harbor, when the call came suddenly and without warning for large numbers of additional subs to strangle Jap supply lines, Electric Boat was ready with skill and craftsmanship that had become traditional during 45 years of continuous submarine manufacture. That same skill, streamlined by heavy production demands, is now at its peak of efficiency to keep subs sliding down the ways for victory and post war security.
