The traveler of ancient times sought
rest and refreshment at an oasis on
his route.
So does the traveler of modern times
... he stops at an oasis that prepares
his automobile for another hundred
miles or more of driving ... at an oasis
that provides ice water and a chance
to stretch ... at an oasis that offers
clean and sanitary rest rooms ... at an
oasis where our traveler can give and
get a friendly greeting.
Today’s oasis is the service station
on the American highway.
It makes your trip. It provides your
contact with the country through which
you’re driving. On its driveway you feel
at home; you get the impression wher-
ever you stop, that this is your America.
Not one service station, but thou-
sands of them. All along the highways
you’ll find them staffed and equipped
to give your car the expert care it re-
quires, to make your brief visits on their
driveways comfortable and pleasant.
The service station where you buy gasoline and motor oil
is your chief contact with the American oil industry. It is
probably an individual enterprise; and it competes to give
you better service and better products than another sta-
tion down the street or on the other side of town. No small
part of the oil industry's progress in the service of the
motorist finds final expression on service station driveways.

Galloway, who is also president this week and next. When asked
of a bank, former mayor and a _
director of the Burnet Chamber of
Commerce.
But today heavy tourist traffic
streams down U. S. Highway 281,
a direct Canada-to-Mexico route.
Anw many tourists take time out
to visit the cavern, reached by a
paved road which enters Long-
horn Cavern State Park at a point
four miles south of Burnet.
We’re getting people from every
state in the union now,” Mr. Callo-
way said, “and you’d be surprised
how many Texans visit the cavern
and are amazed when they see
what a spectacular natural wonder
it is.”
“We figure it’s really unusual
when a Texan is amazed at some-
thing that’s in Texas.”
This summer, Mr. Calloway es-
timates that more than 5.000 tour-
ists and resorters a month will vis-
it the cavern.
Two miles of the cavern have
been developed and modern illumi-
nation installed to bring out all
its natural subterranean beauty.
Guides relate all of the cave's ro-
mantic legends of the Indians, des-|
peradoes and buried treasure.
Visitors are royally entertained
and filled with cavern lore at the
same time.
