Large Tourist Increase
Offers Opportunity For
Wide Awake Merchants
“O’Neill merchants who are ‘on
their toes’ and looking for their
share of this summer’s tourist dol
lar should reap a rich harvest.
Reason: There will be twice as
many tourists on the road as there
were last summer.”
Such is the surprising prediction
just released by the Conoco Travel
Bureau, America’s largest free trav
el service, maintained by the Con
tinental Oil company, Denver, Colo,
In a bulletin addressed to the
merchants of “Main Street” in all
parts of the United States, the
Bureau advises them to prepare for
the greatest tourist trade in years.
“Dust storms have spent their
fury, leaving a new top soil, and
flood waters have receded,” says
Joe H. Thompson, director of the
Bureau. “As a result of heavy
rainfall, America’s highways, and
particularly the mountain areas,
are green in vegetation, and wild
flowers and more beautiful than
ever.”
“During the first five and a half
months of this year the Conoco
Travel Bureau received 115 per
cent more trip service applications
than during the same period in
1934.
“At present, more than 250 care
fully trained employes are working
day and night shifts in the bureau’s
Denver offices. During the early
part of June last year the Denver
personnel number only 126.
“The Conoco Travel Bureau was
founded five and one-half years
ago in response to the demands of
motor vacationists and everyday
travelers anxious to secure accur
ate, up-to-the- minute information
regarding North American high
ways, scenic regions and travel
costs. Each motorist applying for
Travel Bureau assistance received
a generous assortment of maps,
booklets, cottage camp and hotel
guides, and special instructions
covering every phase of his jour
ney. Even temporary highway de
tours and choice fishing and hunt
ing areas are indicated. More than
22,000 Conftco dealer stations in 42
states act as branches of the Bur
eau and are equipped to render ad
ditional tourist assistance of a
more localized nature.”
Readers of this newspaper may
secure individualized trip services
without spending a cent—even for
postage—merely by writing the
Conoco Travel Bureau, Continental
Oil Building, Denver, Colo., stat
ing where and when they wish to
go.
