tudes. On its rapid vaporization alone
must often depend the lives of the men
in the aeroplane. This gasoline would
not be good for general use. 1t would
lack power on the ground, its loss in
storage by evaporation would be great
and it would be expensive.
Making aviation gasoline for the
Government took a very considerable
part of the low boiling point or highly
volatile constituents of the crude oil,
and, as result, the gasoline left avail
able for regular use lacked those quail
ties which assure easy starting of the
automobile engine.
The Governments demand for avi-
alton gasoline reached it's maximum in
the late fall of 1918, and then for peri
Cd of about six weeks the deficiency of
Red Crown gasoline in low boiling
point constituents or easy starting
qualities was most apparent
Now that the war is won and the
great demand for aviation gasoline has
ceased, we are again able to offer the
same grade Of Red Crown gasoline as
formerly, with the same full and con-
tinuous chain Of boiling points-from
the low to the high-whichis necessary
for easy starting, quick and smooth
acceleration, high power and long
mileage.

Highly volatile gasoline for fighting
aeroplanes was one of the war needs
The output of this special gasoline by
all the refineries east of the Rocky
Mountains was not enough, so Califor-
MIA was called upon to furnish a large
part OF the supply. At the request of
the United States Government the Pa
cifc Coast Petroleum War Service
Committee apportioned CALIFORNIA;
quota among such of the large rehners
as were able to make this special gaso-
line.
The Standard Oil Company, being
the largest of these, had the greatest
quota to fill. We were glad to do our
part. We supplied more than our quo
ia of aviation gasoline.
Aeroplane engines, operating high in
the air under conditions of extreme
cold and rarefed atmosphere, require
different gasoline from engines operat-
ing on the ground In fact, the needs
are so special that the gasoline manu-
featured for aeroplane use Gotten used
at attitudes of from 10000 to $4,000
feet) would be utterly Indifferent for
use in automobile or other internal
combustion engines operated on land
or sea.

SOMETHING TO LEARN

Mr.. Theodore P. Shonts is admit
tedly one of Americas ablest eyecu-
tives. But he has something to
learn about advertising.
For years Mr.. Shonts' subways
used the back door of free publicity
in the newspapers. His business
grew in volume, and the newspapers
did not awake up" Finally so
many people were riding on the
New York subway that Mr.. Shonts
felt that an 8 cent fare was a neces-
sity and the newspapers did wake
up.
Then he decided that the public
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1919-02-11
of what he wanted to say.

AS the advertising of the store is
one of the most important tasks in
the whole business, the proprietor
ought to look after it himself and
give it the time and attention that it
deserves. Then his policy finds ex-
preston in his own printed wordk
and he is truly the head of the en-
terprise-and of it's advertising, as
he should be.
There is a multimillionaire manu-
facturer not far away who says that
he can hire men to do his buying, to
look after the cash, the manufactur-
ing, but that he cannot find one that
can look after his advertising to his
satisfaction. He considers it his
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1919-02-11

must be trained to the s cent fare
line of thought. Mr.. Shonts decid-
ed to begin an 8 cent appeal to the
public sense of justice. Did he use
advertising in the newspapers to tell
his story9 He did not. He created
the Subway Sum-" a poster news
paper, and hung his arguments be-
fore the public gaze in his crowded
subway cars. The irritated public
read the appeal for higher fares in
an irrated state of mind. Others
drew funny pictures on the publ
cation.
Did Mr.. Shonts get his s cent
fare? Mr. Shonts did not.
There are others whose education
is equally neglected.

LET ADVERTISERS
READ THIS STORY


An advertisement is a salesman. IL
has one object--to sell gcods an sus-
tain good will and frsei.dliness for
the store.
AS you have to pay good money
for the space your ad occupies and
not for what you say in it, it would
be foolish to waste the space by
writing something that you would
not ordinarily tell a customer if he
entered your store. Take pains in
writing your adj Make it simple and
direct. Write it as carefully as you
would write your will--leaving MOTH
ing to be guessed at, but make it
brief, yet complete. A great rail-
road. magnate died a few years ago,
yeaving millions. His will contained
less than a hundred words, and no
lawyer or court could find flaw in
it, yet he made requests to many m
dividuals and charities.
In your ad tell the people in the
simplest and most direct way what
YOU are going to do and then do it.
Be careful what you say, but never
break a promise in an ad., even il
you stand to lose by reason Of mis-
take.
Describe your goods just. as they
are. If you misrepresent you will
be surely found out, and then your
ad will do you more harm than no
ad at ALL
Comon business and the ability to
write brief business sentences in
every day language will enable you
to write your own ads. And they
will probably strike home when the
elaborate wordy ad of the expert
will be glanced at unnoticed. Ad-
vertising is not literature, but bust
ness, and has more gray matter in
it usually than much of the so-called
literature that you read. Don't wor-
ry if you are shaky in your gram
mar. When bad grammar will sell
furniture better than University
English, use your own kind every
time. Very often, a homely, familiar
expression or phrase will strike a
response in the readers mind that
the most elaborate wording would
completely miss.
A good advertisement cannot be
whipped together in a few minutes
nor by one that is guessing at what
he is doing. The reason so much ad-
vertising is unsuccessful is because
it is prepared in thoughtless fash
ion by some one who has not studied
his subject nor had any definite idea

LOYALTY
(By Judge E. H. Gary)

Do you know what loyalty is?
Have you ever analysed it? I'm 8
great sticker for loyalty and l have
my own notions about it. Loyalty
means great deal more than simply
mot betray." More than acquiesc-
ence. Such things are negative,
loyalty is a positive virtue. 1t is
more than personal also, Loyalty ac-
cepts the big idea, whatever it is,
and accepts it intellectually once
the thing is decided on. Loyalty
means full accord with the plan
