pemex urging folks to burn oil instead of trees!

The great forests that perennial vegetables wear skirts of our mountains ... the forests that adorn our valleys and our plains, are not only one of our most precious wealth, but the guards that wise nature has given our country against their more formidable enemies: the harsh climate ... soil erosion ... floods ... ... prolonged droughts ruin and desolation!

And being the tree Mexico who protects these catastrophic consequences, it is the duty of every Mexican protect turn forests and jungles. You, no seconder those who destroy our forest wealth transforming it into charcoal and firewood. The tree has a more noble mission than that: to become our roof ... furniture, doors and windows for our home ... in comfortable utensils of the most varied uses ... not to burn!

At home, use d. oil ... oil that nature has given in abundance to our land, and one of whose missions is precisely to serve as fuel.

Modernize your kitchen! equipping it with a kerosene stove diaphanous that Petroleos Mexicanos sold at a price below cost as a cooperation of the Government of the Republic in its campaign to save the forest wealth and get the following advantages:

· Cleaning your kitchen because oil does not produce smoke diaphanous producing coal.
· Fast cooking oil because diaphanous produces more calories than charcoal.
· Power immediately when you need fire.
· Daily Economy because cooking with diaphanous OIL PART cost him to cook with charcoal.

Get yourself today its diaphanous Oil stove two burners. In Mexico in the headquarters of PEMEX Ave. Juarez 92 or main outlets Oil diaphanous. Inside the republic: in the offices of Regional Sales Agency.

For only $ 25.00 pesos. Save money every day and does not contribute to the wealth of Mexico burn.

In 1955 when I guess the advertisement was printed, the exchange was 12.5 to 1 .What a deal $2.00 for a stove.
