Phonetic --- S O = Initials Standard Oil

Many years ago, the TV advertising jingle went




  • The Esso sign means happy motoring,


  • happy motoring, happy motoring.



  • The Esso sign means happy motoring



  • stop at the Esso sign
Eastern seaboard standard oil


Didn't the jingle finish with "Stop at the Esso sign - For Esso Golden ??"

dsg


you could be right


do you also recall the advert around that time (1970s?) for the Esso blue paraffin dealer, which came out as Essu Blee Dooler

I seem to recall the jingle ending


"Call at the Esso sign, for Esso Extra"


but it could well have been Stop not Call, it was a long time ago! I think it was before they started putting Tigers into Tanks.


Sorry, jane mark you are wrong. ESSO is Standard Oil. It was originally the Standard Oil Company of New York -SOCONY and became Standard Oil of New Jersey later known as Standard Oil.
