1940s Texaco Havoline Custom Made Motor Oil Commercial

1940s Texaco Havoline Custom Made Man Fly Fishing

     This Texaco commercial was printed probably in the 1940s or 1950s.  It is one of a series of commercials that Walter Richards made for The Texas Company, probably while working for the Charles E. Cooper Studio.

     I say 'probably' because it is found in one of his portfolios marked "Charles E. Cooper."  These portfolios consist of what seems to be random examples of his commercial art in the form of magazines clippings.
