EHLER MAINS TO
OBSERVE 28th
anniversary
Opened With One
Gallon Dispensing
Pump For Autos

April l, 1916, marks the twenty
eighth year of successful operation
for the Ehlermann Service, located
on the east side of the square in
Caldwell, 7. M. Ehlermann owner
and operator. In 1918, year termin-
ating World War l, Ehlermann
Service began functioning on it's
present location, the corner of Cum
berland and North streets, and has
since been the scene of continuous
activity in keeping with the progress
of the automobile industry, as was
indicative of the trend followed,
both at home and throughout the
nation.
Starting with only one $50 gallon
under ground tank and a one gallon
dispensing pump, Ehlermann Service
grew with the industry it serves. 1t
now stands foremost among Cald-
wells business establishments.
AS the number of cars increased,
Mr.. Ehlermann realized the impor
tance and the necessity as a distri-
butor of petroleum, to keep pace
with advancements so evident in the
automobile world. This resulted in
many local improvements and addi-
tions, such as the installing of a
private railroad siding and bulk
plant facilities north of Caldwell,
capacity of which is approximately
100000 gallons.
AS an agent for the Sinclair pc
troleum products, this arrangement
was accomplished in 1922, the first
of which was a one-half gallon can
of oil that fitted perfectly on the
side of the model T Ford gasoline
tank as an emergency. From this
meager contraption, the distribution
of Sinclair products reach dealers
throughout Noble and adjoining
counties numbering 80. This repre-
sents approximately 95 percent of
all distribution made of Sinclair
products within the territory al
lotted the Ehlermann Service for
coverage. A large volume of Sin
clair products distribution is also
realized through the medium of COM
mercial contractors.
To handle the volume of current |
business "T. M" has in rolling
stock three tank trucks, as we'll as
one truck for oils, greases and other |
products.

sion of World War II, at. NJ" sue

Red Cross Drive
Will End April |

The belated Red Cross drive in
Noble county will end April 1, ac-
cording to the chairman Vernon w.
Archer but all or any contributions
after that date will be cheerfully
received.
Early reports indicate that the
drive would go over in this county
although it is difficult at this time
to ascertain the actual amount since
many of the chairmen in the county
have not yet reported in.
The quota for this county was set
at $1,000 by the National organiza-
tion or approximately one-half as
much as in 1945. Various drives in
other counties have not been sue
cessful but it is not believed that
such will be the case here.
