Show Conoco Prepares For a Big Season Local merchants, and particularly particular-ly the Conoco dealers, are looking forward to substantial profit this summer, as a result of the largest tourist season in history, according accord-ing to D. E. Stapley, Beaver county coun-ty manager Ifor .Continental Oil company. "Early summer requests receiv-! receiv-! ed by the Conoco travel bureau for ! touring information indicate that ' 1937 will surpass even last year's ! travel business," he said. "Natur-. ; ally all merchants will profit- but the Oonoco dealers have an additional addi-tional reason for optimism. "Under Continental's new policy all of its products are sold through independent dealers which means that every Conoco dealer either owns or leases his station 'is in i business for himself. He doesn't I work for a weekly or monthly pay j j envelope; so naturally he gets outj ' and hustles for that extra profit, j I And when he gets that profit, it stays in town, as he spends his money with the local merchants. "Futhermore, Continental Oil ' company is giving its dealers some, fine cooperation. They are taking j newspaper space to advertise the dealer's station as well as their own products. In this advertising Conoco dealers are known as 'mile-j age merchants' and, actually, that's just what they are." o |
