alslng program, according to Earl L.
Miller, vice-president In charge of
marketing.
"For several years we have been
trying to learn exactly what typo ol
ttatlon service best meets the de
mands of the public. Today we be
lieve we know the answer and are In
a position to give that type of ser
vice," Miller isaid.
Tlie platform on which Shell sta
tion service la now bad 's:
Assumption of responsibility by
Shell station men that every car com
ing into their stations shall leave with
full attention to all service and me
chanical detate that make for Bale
and comfortable driving.
Miller pointed out that this In
volves a thorough check of gaacline,
oil and tire condition, washing of the
windshield, headlights, rear window
and tall lights.
And when our men wash head
light," Miller explained, "they also
check the condition of globes, for a
burned out lamp Is decidedly unsafe,
both from the standpoint of the driver
and other persons.
"We have found also that motor
ists like quick, efficient service at
stations and our men have learned
to do these things fast. For motor
ists who are In an extra hurry, a
word to our station men will be suf
ficient to cause them to omit any of
our regular services."
Miller explained that Shell sta
tions are equipped to furnish head
lamps, fan belts, tires and other mo
toring necessities and that Shell sta
tion men know when these are needed
and how to apply them
"But one thing la definite," he
asserted, "no motorist need fear any
high-pressure salesmanship at a Shell
station. Our policy is simply that of
knowing motorists' needs and calling
attention to them. From that point
the decision Is up to the driver. We
are there to serve him," he con
cludes.

"Of four different brands I tried
on this trip, Super-Shell was in
a class by itself.
"It had power to spare. Never
knocked once.
"And Super-Shell's mileage
was almost unbelievable."
None of the gassy "tops" of
petroleum in Super-Shell. None
of the sluggish "bottoms." That
is why this gasoline does every
job well-IT'S PURE POWER!
