Oil Industry to Promote Texas Through Advertising
The Texas Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association announces a series of institutional ads in the San Saba News and other papers. Executive VP George C. Gibbons argues Texas leads world oil, with 25 percent global and 40 percent U S production, and notes 134 Texas counties are in active production or exploration. He says outside competition lowers well output and that advertising aims to attract new industries, boost employment, and increase in-state processing and demand for oil products. The plan highlights local refining, tax revenues, and job creation, citing the Lufkin paper mill as an example of in-state processing and opportunities in wool and cotton sectors.
