Ail-Time Largest Localized Ad Cam paignm History Standard Oil Company of Nebraska Places Large Space Contract with Journal and Others What is believed to be the largesl localized advertising campaign ever staged in Nebraska was recently launched by the Standard Oil Com pany of Nebraska. Following the opening advertisement, all others will carry pictures, names and ad dresses of local Standard dealers in every community where the produces are sold. This means that every ad vertisement gains individual atten tion and value for the Standard deal er whose picture appears in the cur rent issue of the newspaper. It also serves as a distinct advantage to the entire list of local dealers whose names are listed. The Journal will carry this advertisement, the open ing ad appearing in this issue of the Semi-Weekly edition. Ads will Tell How to Use Less Gasoline So far as is known, this is the first time that an oil company has told motorists how they can use less gasoline. Facts and 'figures gained during Standard's "World's Greatest Mileage Test," conducted last ,suni mer, .indicate that at least half, the car owners in America are not oper ating their cars as efficiently as they might . . . and not getting as many miles per dollar as they can and should expect. Standard believes that the highly informative and valuable information given in the coming advertisements will help motorists to save as they drive. All data will be authorita tive and based on actual facts. This move, no doubt, will add many new friends and customers to the already large lists enjoyed by Standard deal ers everywhere.

New key man in the Loyalist gov ernment of Spain is Indalecio Prieto who was recently appoint ed minister of defense in the new cabinet of Dr. Juan Negrin, new premier, and delegated to reor ganize the fighting service., Mr. Soennichsen stated he had been informed that the city police had in tprfpred with the distribution of handbills over the city and that com plaint had been made that thi3 was causing injury to the business inter ests of the city. Mr. Greenebaum Etated that the ordinance was doing financial injury to the local institutions and that he had felt the effects in handling the advertising for his theatre. While the ordinance was on the books he felt that the local people should have some consideration and that their distribution be condoned.

Srosz Bsauv Knows How submlt it to the council at the next meeting. Councilman Vincent thought that the ordinance should be revised so as to give the local business houses the benefit of the bill distribution if they wished. Councilman Webb seated that an odinance could be prepared to give everyone an opportunity at bill dis tribution and place such restriction around it as to protect the residents from the indiscriminate tossing of bills around thtir homes or places of business. On motion of Councilman Webb, it was agreed that if the Ad club would go on record as favoring free lance bill distribution, with such re strictions as to methods, the city council would set up the new ordi nance. The matter was referred to the judiciary committee and the city attorney to prepare a new ordinance if the Ad club offers their approved endorsement. Councilman Vroman called the attention of the city council to the fact that the sidewalks in the busi ness section are being obstructed by stocks of goods, boxes of plants and large signs that interfered with the proper use of the walk and contrary to the city ordinance.
