¥ PROGRESS AND PROSPERITY EDITION Texas Products Show Gain In Sales DISTRIBUTION M EDEHTON TERRITORY BY SAME MIRY TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS Firm Now Has More Than 7.0 Retail Out lets, Including Most Modern Stations From Edenton docks of the Texas ; Oi} Company, under the management of Mr. J. H. Conger, agent, the Tex aco products are being distributed to dealers operating in Gates, Perquim ans and Chowan counties, in which at present there has been established ap proximately seventy retail outlets. Since 1910 the Texaco product has been distributed through a member of the Conger family and throughout the 28 years nothing has been overlooked in building and locating stations by dealers who were favored with the Texaco franchise in order to main tain and give the automotive public a service, when they want it, equally as good as the product which they sell. Not only does the Texaco Company exact service from its dealers, sta tions operating under a Texaco fran chise, to users of the product but it self lends all forms of cooperation and help in establishing this splendid service and continues to. contribute aid from many angles to the dealer in j order that it will be maintained, thus reflecting credit on the high type of dealers representing the Texas Com pany, as well as the quality product being delivered. One of the most forceful gasoline, oil and service station series of na tional advertisements emphasizing the four principal features of service cus tomers expect to receive when they drive into a strange station and in a strange town was recently published in magazines of national circulation. First, “When You Buy One—You Get j All Four”; second, “You Get Circle Service”; third “You Get Registered Rest Rooms” and No. four, “You Get Courtesy From the Gentleman Who Serves You.” These titles taken from the Texaco advertisements will apply to practic ally any business catering to the re- : EL 111 • ~ , ...

In Edenton the company owns its own docks which are visited regularly by tankers bringing in cargo of gaso line and oil on regular schedule. Ac cording to records the sale of Texaco products has kept pace with the de velopment and general use of the motor car, not pnly in volume of gas and oil sold, but in improved types of gasoline and refined motor oils most suitable for the improved mo tors being built each year, many au | tomobile manufacturers changing the increasing power in their motors which requires better grade, more perfectly refined type of fuel.

C. put on the market gasoline to suit the improved motors operating in various sections of the country. To day_this same gasoline is sold in all parts of the world and is known as “Fire Chief.” Another particular interesting fea ture about the Texaco organization is that it was the first or pioneers in es tablishing a perfect dependable lubri cation system and is today being maintained wherever you see the Texaco sign, also to establish, build and equip modem registered rest rooms, install the perfect circle sys tem of service, and is the only com pany operating, according to infor mation, which sells its product in all 48 states of Amenta, and in foreign I countries under the same trade name, ] maintaining the same standard of service. Another commendable feature in a Texaco dealer franchise is the co operative help and dealer aid extend ed by the Texaco agent under which they -work. The company spends thousands of dollars annually in this cooperative aid work with their deal ers in addition to keeping in touch personally with them, making regu lar inspection of their stations and premises to see that they are kept THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N.

In Edenton a master Texaco sta tion, also at Gatesville and Hertford is serving the public with plans for others to be established by men en tering the gasoline and oil business. These stations will be found as mo doren and with a service on par with any Texaco station anywhere.

Cotton Mills Use All | But Scent Os Rower Like the Chicago packing plants that use all of the hog except the squeal, the cotton industry uses all of the cotton plant except the fra grance of the blossom. Cotton, of course, is raised primar ily for the fibre from which cloth is made, but during recent years innum erable other purposes have been found for it. From cotton seed is made a refin ed oil which is an excellent substitute for olive oil, and which is mixed , with beef products in preparing com pound lard for use in cooking. Poorer grades of the oil are used in the manufacture of soap, candles and phonograph records. The oil . used by miners in their lamps is a • | mixture of cotton seed oil and kero sene. Some of the most destructive ex plosives used in industry and war • are made from cotton. The terms “gun cotton” and “nitro-cellulose” are ■ I familiar to all. But probably few realize that some of the gears in their automobile en- I gines are also made of cotton, that | the cigarettes they smoke very likely were made of tobacco raised by farmers who used fertilizer derived from cotton. Cotton cake or meal (the residue after the oil is extracted from the seed) is one of the most valuable of feeds for fattening cattle. Cotym seed hulls constitute about half the weight of the ginned seed. For a long time the hulls of the seed were burned as fuel at cotton mills. Two and a half tons were about equal to one cord of wood. The ash resulting from this burn ing contains nine per cent phosphoric acid and 24 per cent potash—a fer tilizer of great value to farmers, and particularly to tobacco growers. Later it Was discovered that cotton seed hulls are an excellent substitute for hay in stock reeding. Many -thousands of cattle are now fed ini the cotton areas of the country at small Cost with cotton seed hulls in the place of hay. - ” ’ll.
