We started in Washington over a year ago as strangers and built a growing business by selling only quality products. Our eight Blue Ribbon pumps in Washington County and two own stations reflect rapid growth. We will continue across from Graham Theater with a new station offering Blue Ribbon Gasoline and In-deco Motor Oil for convenience.
In planning our new station we believe nothing is overlooked. The building will include ladies rest room and men's lavatory, cool drinking water, two gasoline pumps, three radiator filling faucets, three air stands, and a platform for greasing and crank case service. The platform is ordered and should be installed by Saturday. Our aim is to serve efficiently and get customers away quickly.
Climax Kerosene draws many miles as customers seek the kerosene that stays clear and bright with no susi or smoke. It burns cleanly, works with other grades, and keeps car carburetors from getting sluggish. Tractor use is praised, promising more acres per gallon. The station will continue selling Climax Kerosene to introduce new buyers.
In-de-co motor oil for cars and tractors earns growing demand as owners report satisfaction and recommend it to neighbors. The community notes there is no guess work with In-de-co and advise its use in cars.
Country Service operates two trucks and emphasizes rapid delivery for telephone orders. The firm reports strong satisfaction from quick service, noting recent busy phone business kept them from visiting regular trade for weeks. They invite orders for Blue Ribbon Gasoline, Deco Motor Oil, and Climax Kerosene via City Phone 205. Mutual 5.
