The Hindenburg's initial flight

This card was carried on the Hindenburg on its initial flight from Freidrichshafen to Lakehurst, N. J. It is mailed to you with the compliments of the Tide Water Oil Company, whose product was selected to lubricate the giant ship

World's largest Zeppelin selects Veedol
The four Diesel engines of the Hindenburg, capable of developing 4200 hp., are lubricated by Veedol. Proved by over a million air miles of service in the Graf Zeppelin, this finest of Pennsylvania oils now continues in the Hindenburg.
This selection is another tribute to Veedol's inherent quality. You as a Tide Water dealer may take a just pride in selling this oil to your customers.

This is postmarked from Hamburg with a Zeppelin stamp on April 25, 1936 and arrived in New York on May 9th, 1936.

This is one of my favorite postcards in my collection.
