GAS PUMP THOUGHTS By: Ed Guettler From the eastern part of the country comes the story about the fellow who bought only two gallons of gas each time for his dilapidated old car. When he did this twice in one day, the attendant asked. "Why don't you fill 'er up?" "Wa-al," drawled the old fellow. "She might not run that fur." So. with this thought in mind, the GUETTLER'S CITIES SERVICE are offering,'besides our regular guarantees on supplies and service satisfaction, to buy back any surplus gas that "yur ol' car" can't use. • - Phone 331' •; ~ SPECIAL DISCOUNT TO COMMITTORS If wasn't-too hot-for Mom a K'& I a i/ii> OT course not"!
