Um-m! . Flowers for the LIVING smell sweetest WE MORTALS generally agree that it's nice to re ceive a few bouquets while we can still enjoy them. Vet the sad fact remains that most good citizens have to wait and read their own obituaries to learn they've been appreciated in their communities. John Jones ... so writes the editor . . . has gone from among us. He did everything he could toward the upbuild ing of this city. He was active in the Community Chest, the Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club, and assisted every movement concerned with civic development, character build ing, and social welfare. Now we don't want to strike a too lugubrious note. But such activities, we realized long ago, everywhere mark the good citizen. Why wait, we asked, to send flowers? Why not show appreciation by an active de cision to get in there and help? Hence, in every community where we have the man-power, you'll find this Company work ing as fellow-member of good citizen organizations. We've been doing this a long time, now long enough to learn definitely that our idea is shared by others. Frequently, now-a-days, somebody sends us a bouquet for our good citizen ship. And don't think that we don't like it. We think it's fine because we know it's true. Standard Oil Company of California ( ram m ?
