The first one is a theatrical advertisement, circa 1938. At the time, Esso sponsored a series of daily local radio newscasts known as "YOUR ESSO REPORTER"- so this "disguised commercial" appropriated the title to make movie patrons think this was an extention of what they heard on radio...yes, in the '30s and '40s, inbetween "coming attractions", one/two reel shorts, newsreels, cartoons, travelogues, et. al., there were also "commercials"...

I've heard of "Your Esso Reporter". I believe it was a CBS Radio presentation, as the station in my town that carried it was CBS. Could've been syndicated, but I think it was CBS.

The former WTOP-TV 9 (long since W*USA 9) in the mid-1950s had a news program called "Your Esso Reporter" and Don Richards was the anchorman. It aired weeknights at 6:00 before Douglas Edwards did the national news for CBS.

I'm 55 now, but remember well the embargo. I don't know if this was the case in other locales, but where I've lived all my life (Fairmont, West Virginia), gas was sold on certain days of the week only to people who had license plates that ended in even numbers, and on the other days, folks with odd last numbers got gas.

This is bringing up another brand, but I can remember a Quaker State Oil jingle from the early '70s (I'm 55 now) that went "Quaker State your car to keep it running young". Trivia tidbit: At one time Quaker State made gasoline, but I'd guess they got out of that line decades ago.
