In the early 1940s, the American Oil Company (Amoco) commissioned Norman Rockwell to create a series of advertisements to boost their brand image during the World War II era.

• The Artwork: Titled "America Marches Ahead," this piece was created in 1940. It depicts a jovial drummer in a military-style uniform, symbolizing American progress and patriotic spirit.

• The "Hydro-Formed" Gas: The original ad was used to promote Amoco's new "Hydro-Formed" American Gas. Rockwell’s signature style of "everyday storytelling" helped humanize the large oil corporation and made their products feel like a part of the American home and community.

• This is a true work of art for a Gas Guyto display in his Man Cave, Garage, or Den.
