Step up, Folks
-Billions, nice
cool Billions!
TRAVELING is fun. It hai
become by all odds the fa
vorite pastime of the nation.
And no wonder! Along the
highways lies a freedom such
as the people of no other land
ever knew. So at least once
year every other American who
has a car piles in the family and
hits the road. "Let freedom
ring," says he.
And freedom rings the cash
register. It rings up close to five
billion dollars. The money
cash is spread through every
artery, every vein and capillary
of the country's business sys
tem. The little fellow who runs
the hot-dog and pop standi
takes' in $260,000,000 just for
snack5"
Squarer meals mean $900,
000,000 to the hotel and res
taurant man. Merchants pick up
a nice billion for supplies, sou
venirs, and what not. Hotels and
auto camps get $850,000,000.
Gosh, how the money rolls in !
For gas and oil, the oil in
dustry receives . less than the
merchant, less than the restau
rant man maybe $850,000,000.
Yet without the oil industry's
13 billion dollar investment,
without its 325,000 stations
with their ever-present, ever
ready service, none of this
would be possible. There'd be
no clanging of the cash regis
ter, no annual re-seeding of
these road-born billions.
