REAL SERVICE
To PUBLIC
Manager Of Minute Service
Says It Is Now a Highly
Specialized Business

The fine modern filling station,
conveniently located and well man.
aged. renders a real service to the
motoring public. 1t is highly spe-
cialized business, requiring intelli-
gent study, progressive methods and
large investment.
This is the opinion of Henry J.
Sterzer, general manager of the
Minute Service Stations, which
have been pioneers in placing the
sale of gaosline, oils, filling station
service and accessories on a higher
plane in the National Capital.
Mr.: SterZer says that the prime
requisite for a site for modern
filling station is not only location
on a prominent thoroughfare, but
the use Of sufficient ground space
to permit the construction of very
wide driveways and the placing of
pumps at sufficient distances epart.
This combination of wide drive
ways and multiple pumps permits
easy entrance and exit, makes

} lac Company.
Camels, the ancient ships of the
desert, which have held sway for
more than 1900 years, are being
replaced by motor cars, which add
many factors of safety to the al.
vantages of UNNECESSARILY greater
speed.
A route recently established
across the Syrian desert from Haifa
and Beirut to Bagdad for mail and
transportation purposes, by the
use of Cadillac cars reduces the
running time for distance Of
nearly 500 miles to two days. Prior
to the establishment of the new
mail route, the journey by camel
travel consumed from seven to
eight weeks. The motor route
brings within quick and easy ac-
cess to tourists the ancient ruins
Of Baalbek, Palmyra, Babylon and
other ancient cities.
The drive is taken straight across
the desert. Trails are frequently
ignored and the hard surface of
baked mud makes possible a speed
as high as seventy miles per hour.
At night direction is determined
by the stars. .
The Cadillacs carry a gasoline re.
serve of rs gallons in tanks on the

to Teheran, Persia, giving it a total
extent practically equal to the dis
lance from Detroit to New York.

Wide Driveways Feature.
Robert F. Beresford, architect
of the Minute Service Stations, has
made wide driveways and numerous
pump locations a feature of his
plans at all Of the stations" said
Mr.. Sterzer.
I'VE have found, in our ex.
perience, that the motorists appre-
ciate time-saving service and. we
nave been able to develop the
Minute Service for which our
stations are famous, to a very high
degree.
1--WE have found that no matter
how carefully gasoline is handled
water, dirt and other impurities are
certain to creep in. To make this
impossible and to assure cur pa
irons of absolutely pure, highest
quality gasoline, we tripIe-filter all
motor fuels served at our stations
the triple-filtering process being
our own exclusive invention.
Plan New Station.
Experience has taught us that
the average motorist appreciates the
definite knowledge that he is re-
ceiWng the exact amount of gasoline
or oil that he pays for. For that
reason all Of our stations are
equipped, with the Fry visible meas.
ure pumps, which not only give alb.
solutely accurate measurement me-
chanically, but which measurement
can be checked visibly."
To the present list of minute sta.
tons, new one will be added next
month. This station will be known
as the Connecticut Avenue Accesso-
rtes Company, located at the corner
OF Connecticut avenue and Ordway

Reasons for EIatiOn.
THE reason for Cooper's elation
on receiving the No. 8 ticket in
the annual motor derby is this:
Cooper, who has earned q reputa-
ton for great racing cunning and
agility in his fourteen years on the
tracks, was confronted all during
1923 with Old Man Hard Luck.
Time after time he would drive
brilliantly in the greatest races in
the land-only to finish a few laps
behind the winner.
he was leading at Fresno, 1t AL.

out by a few laps every time. lie
