On the outskirts Of Detroit, near
the great Ford airport, the Stand
ard Oil Company (Indiana) has
erected a large painted bulletin adj
yertising its products to those who
travel by air. This board is over
fifty feet long by fifteen feet high
and is set at an angle of forty-five
degrees to make it easily read by
those who fly over the area and
also clearly visible to the motorists
who drive along the highway near
by.
This is an advertising innovation.
It is the first purely commercial bull
letin ever built, the primary pur-
pose of which is to catch the at
tention of that rapidly expanding
public who have become air minded.
The decision of the Standard Oil
Company (Indiana) to utilize this
unique form of advertising is an
eloquent expression of their belief
that aviation is on the eve of tre-
mendous expansion, and that trans
portation by air soon will be a
commonplace means of getting from
one part Of the country to another.
The location of this bulletin is
such that q large number Of the
airplanes that come and go from
the Ford field pass near enough to
it to enable those who ride to see
and read the message.

The development Of these bulle-
tins is natural evolution from the
airway markers which were orig
mated and first put in service by
the Standard Oil Company Gin
diana) several years ago. These
markers, which are painted on the
roofs Of the company's warehouses
throughout the Central States,
carry the name Of the town, COM
pass reading and directions to the
airport, If one is located within a
few miles of the sign.
The favorable reception which
these markers received, not alone
from those interested in aviation,
professionally, but also from the
layman who CHANGED to fly over and
see how practically useful they are,
led the management of the Stand
ard Oil Company to believe that
advertising signs displayed to be
viewed from above would impress
those who saw them.
To what extent these airway sign
boards will be utilized by the
Standard Oil Company has not
been announced, but it Is safe to
say that as aviation progresses, and
air travel becomes the ordinary
means of transportation for the
busy man, this form Of out-0f1door
advertising win become popular.

Those who habitually disregard
these signs are sure to be hit SOON

latter always get the worst of it..
The standard stop" sign, used
both at arterial highways and rail-

law.

Excerpts From The Herald
August 10, 1909

Sank Centre business men with
automobiles are enthusiastic over
the coming visit of the ST. Paul
Dispatch trophy tour, which will
pass through the main street of
this city. 1t is expected that the
owners of twenty-five automobiles
will be out to welcome the tourists
and escort them through the city.
The official route is through the
heart of the city and park, which
is one of the prettiest in the North
west, lying on the shores of Sank
Lake, will offer a fine scenic view
to the party. G. M. Sprague, r.
L. Palmer and Al Salmond will lead
the Sank Centre host to meet the
incoming tourists with machines
decked with bunting and flags.
Mayor Minette will be in the lead
ing car to give official welcome to
the tourists, and to lead the way
through town and past the beau
tiful shores of Sank Lake. So mark
ed has been the interest in the tour
that G. M. Sprague and son f. w.
Sprague, have on request been over
the road from st. Cloud to Sank
Centre and from Sank Centre to
Alexandria and made map of the
road which they sent to Eli Warn
Ell.
There are fifteen launches on
Sank Lake and twenty automobiles
owned in town

on such roads are subject to the
same speed regulations, and the
same requirements as to careful
driving, turns, signals, etc., as driv-
ers on other roads. The stop"
requirements intended equally for
the protection of those on the ar
terial road and those entering such
roads. The driver who enters an
arterial road without stopping, and
the driver on an arterial road who
fails to use reasonable caution at
intersections, are both likely to
have accidents.
