Buy 'Blue' for brighter better burning. Esso Blue without doubt the finest Paraffin. Gives you greater heat, brighter light, cleaner wick!

This TV advertising jingle of the late 1950s and early 1960s, was repeated so often that I can still recall it, word for word, sixty years later!
It was sung to the tune, "Smoke gets in your eyes":-
"They asked me how I knew,
It was Esso Blue.
To which I replied,
With lower grades one buys,
Smoke gets in your eyes!"
