cided to use this refrigerator in

Then we decided to find out how
quickly all the leading cars of
America could be started on Blue
Sunoco. So, after many details
had been cared for we obtained
stock, 1886, models of each of the
following cars: - Buick, Chrysler,
Chevrolet. Dodge, Ford, Oldsmo-
bile, Pontiac, Plymouth, Studebak-
er and Terraplane, and, after ser
vicing the cars with exactly the
same type of Sunoco products sold
by all our dealers, we refrigerated
the cars, one by one, until a below
zero temperature was reached.
Then, under the careful eye of ex-
perts supervised by Western
Union representative we timed the
starting period of each car. The
quickest flashed into action in two
ffths of a second, the slowest in
seven fifths. The average of all
was less than one second Finally,
just as the January cold spell broke
we advertised these tests in lead
ing newspapers. I believe in CIV

MAY BECOME A
BIG STATE CROP
Growing of Cranberries Can
Be Made a Profitable Crop
in Delaware
ON OUR LOW Ian ID S

From a survey of the lowlands
of Delaware, especially in Kent
and Sussex Counties, it has been
ascertained that sufficient quanti-
ties of cranberries can be grown to
supply the eastern markets. 1t is
contended that they will have to be
planted on an extensive scale, ard
it will be three or four years be-
fore the crop will become profit
able. There are thousands of acres
of boggy or marsh land in the
northern and extreme southern sec
ton of Sussex county which could
be converted into cranberry grow
ing areas, capable of producing
hundreds of bushels each year and
result in profits to the farmers of
many thousands of dollars. From
early in the fall throughout the
winter months the growers would
have a source of revenue, and it
would be fitting substitute for
the crops of holly for six weeks in
the fall and the sweet potato crop
which is harvested in the late fall.
in September the grow
ers would be kept busy, it is fig
ured getting off the cranberry crop
until after the Christmas holidays,
and in the meantime, from around
until Christmas they
could also engage in the holly bus
mess. This would, it is contended,
give them employment and revenue
from the time the fall crops were
harvested throughout most of the
winter months. Some years ago
some of the farmers demonstrated
that they could be grown success
fully. In the section of Coolspring,
thirty years ago a farmer put out
about six plants along a stream
known as Bundick's Branch. They
were not cultivated, but left to
grow at random. Within three

Appreciation of the effectiveness
of newspaper advertising was
stressed the other day by Mr.. r.
Wier, Jr., district sales manager of
the Sun Oil Company, while dis
cussing the increased sales of Sum
oco products this winter while
not an advertising expert" he said,
my own experience is that adver-
tising is extremely effective when
you have something definite to talk
about and then send your message,
appropriately illustrated, to news
paper readers. If your subject is
timely and convincing, they'll do
the rest. For instance, we of the
Sun Oil Company, knew that Blue
Sunoco was a most dependable mo-
tor fuel for quick starting in cold
weather and that it would make
thousands of new friends If we
could prove to them in advance
that Blue Sunoco would Live up to
our claims. After several confer
ences we finally learned that in
South Bend, Indiana, there was a

commodate full sized car. Rather
