Oil -- At Your Service' Promotes Progress Week "Oil At Your Service" te the< slogan which the oil industry has chosen for this weeks Oil Progress Week. Oil men of Carteret County have joined in promoting Oil Progress Week. P. H. Geer, Morehead City oil dealer, spoke for all of them yesterday when he explained the far-reaching effects of the industry He said: " 'Oil? At Your Service' is a particularly appropriate slogan, for there are few industries which ex cmplify 'service' round the clock, year in and year out. To confirm ! this, all we have to do is look around at the many service stations which compete for our business; or to pick up a telephone and get in touch with a fuel oil dealer. "Probably most of us are more familiar with service stations than with any other phase of the oil in dustry. Before we go much further, we could make a note of the fact that the oil industry is a big in dustry, and does a big job. But don't let the word 'big' confuse you. "A recent study by the Oil In dustry Information Committee shows there are at least 42,000 sep , arate enterprises in the oil busi j ness; and that doesn't include ser- ; vice stations, of which there are about 200,000. It just goes to show that it takes a whale of a Mot of small businesses, medium business es and large businesses to make up an industry. "Service stations are typically American institutions. Ninety-five per cent of them are independent operations run by local men mer chandising brands and products. Service station men are also sort of junior chambers of commerce. It is impossible to list the number of times they are asked for infor mation about hotels, stores, cafes, good roads, detours, short cuts, and even where the hunting or fishing is particularly good at any given time. "Over and above this, of course, are the millions of windshields that are wiped, the equally countless number of radiators and batteries that are checked and filled, and the number of tires that are filled with air all, just part of the station's; regular 'service.' It's true that the progressive oil industry works in many ways, and certainly one of the most pleasant contributions is the service station, and the men who attend it." Court (Continued from Page 1) ing without a license; Richard L. Beckwith, driving without a license and speeding; and Edward Harold Culpepper, speeding. Cases continued are the follow ing: J. W.
