Published May 27, 1958. Brennecke's 66 Service at 915 Broadway is featured in the advertisement: Does the interior of your car sometimes look like a sand-trap combined with a rat's nest--with just a little touch of children's playground? Most cars get that way at one time or another...especially where there are kids and pets. If so, come in and be "whisked." Whiskbrooming your car's interior so it is spick and span is just one of the little "extras" you can expect when you drive in to a Phillips 66 Station.
