In the United States, there are a quarter

the needs of 100000 motorists who use
close to 25,0OOOOO,0OO gallons each year in
rolling up the astonishing figure of 25O,OOO,-
100000 trafic-miles of travel. And those
astronomical numbers will be reduced proper
tionately little by the East Coasts gasoline
curfew.
They range all the way from big, impressive
stations, pumping 10000 gallons or more

country stores, which look upon 500 gallons
month as good business.
They all stem from gasoline-price skir-

those days, the horseless carriage was a nov
city whose future seemed doubtful. Kerosene
was the most important product of petroleum
refining. In Seattle, rival producers began
fighting for the business of the half dozen
garages offering bigger profits and induce

pany of California boldly announced that
it would sell gas direct to motorists, if they
would come and get it.

Now Big Business

i oDAY, selling gasoline has become one of
the nations largest businesses, with scores of
companies competing violently for the mo-
torist's dollar, with tens of thousands of
young salesmen schooled to satisfy the public.
At training schools these young men are
taught to run, not slouch, up to the custom
ers Car. to smile winningly as they say good
morning. Following carefully tested rou-
tine, the beginner learns to hold the tank cap
in his hand so he won't forget to put it back,
to check the oil without spilling drops on
tenders, to meet cranky customers de-
mands without antagonism.
Recently an Oklahoma tourist said he'd
when the salesman started to add the two
pounds that they needed, the motorist stopped
him. Twenty years ago. he explained,
Il was told that l ought to put all new air
in my tires every week I've been doing it ever
since, and that's what want done now"
Solemnly the gas salesman debated all five
tires and filled them with fresh" air.
But when woman said she'd like to have
the battery drained and reflled, it took an
effort to keep a straight face.
The trainee graduates into job that's
worth about 500 month. From there on it
is up to him. If he has what it takes, he'll get
to be station manager, at $50 to $500 a
month. And he may go still higher.
But running gas station is no cushy job.
It's no spot for crouch, or fellow who's
afraid to get his hands dirty. And it's no place
for a coward - especially on the midnight-to-
morning shift, when the drunks, the chiselers
and the stick-up men are abroad.
Warning had gone out in Salt Lake City,
that two Negroes in dilapidated car were
holding up gas stations. The description fitted
perfectly the pair that came into Ed Wilson's
just as he was getting ready to shut off the
lights Even their order, Fill her up, kid"
tailed
So Ed wasn't altogether surprised when,
as he stepped back from the pump to put the
nozzle into the cars tank, he stepped right
into the round end of gun barrel, showed
between his shoulder blades. He didn't say
word just dropped the hose and stuck both
hands above his head.
For long moment no one spoke Then,
from behind him, came plaintive voice:
boy, what you holdin' up yo' hans thata-
way for?"
Ed had backed into the round end of the
hose nozzle on the next tank. His two rob
bers' were cash customers. Often they aren't.
Major companies employ their own detec-
tives and instruct their service station men
to give up without argument, but to concen-
trate on full description of the robber:
age, height, weight appearance. and method
of operation. Thanks to this information,
sooner or later most of them are caught.
