Now it appears that Atlantic Service Stations were part of an American company, called the Atlantic Refining Company, who opened their first refinery in 1924, in the state of Victoria. It seems that they were taken over in 1960 by Standard Oil of New Jersey, and rebranded to Esso.
This set appears in our original Australian & New Zealand Index, (RB.30), published in 1983. The heading beneath the issuer`s name tells us that the cards were "Inscribed "For `Happy Motoring` see your Atlantic Retailer". Cards, size 76 x 51, and special albums. Issued in Australia 1958-1964"
