He had been suffering from a heart ailment for some time and was recently treated at a Salt Lake City hospital. Mrs. Gunter went out to call him to lunch but failed to find him in his usual haunts under the trees. As she moved about looking for him, she suddenly discovered him in the garden where he had fallen and succumbed to a heart attack but a few minutes previously. Mr. Gunter was born July 2, 1876 in North Carolina. He married Elsie Wright Day in Salt Lake City in June 1913. He came with his family to the Uintah Basin in 1919, settling at Roosevelt. From 1921 to 1930, the family resided in Mt. Emmons. They moved to Duchesne in 1930, where they have since made their home. He was a member of the Church of Jesus Saints.

Things were a lot cheaper than they are now when almost everything you buy is way up in price . . . except gasoline. 4 Actually, gasoline costa almost exactly the aame today aside from taxes as it did when the beauty above was an exciting new automobile. 4 And its far better gasoline, too. Two gallons today do the work that required three in 1925. 4 Few industries can match this record of keeping prices down and raising quality. It was made possible by two things: intense competition among oil companies and a steadily increasing efficiency of production. J In the last five years alone, Standard Oil Company of California has putjnore than $644,000,000 into facilities and another $35,000,000 into technical service and research. This investment helps us make certain that gasoline continues to be one of the best buys in your family budget. STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA plans ahead to serve you better |
