Carburol Charlie appeared in this series of advertisements aimed at extinguishing the so-called Dry Zone problem. I think this refers to a cold engine starting dry of oil for a few seconds til the oil had circulated around the engine. This ad is simply highlighting this campaign and making garage owners aware of this campaign and the hoped-for upturn in sales that should result.
This is one of a number of retro 1940s and 1950s motoring advertisements that I've featured here on oldclassiccar.co.uk.
