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.

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.
Mr. Gamer pointed out the need
for a change in the ordinance as in
hi3 business of ice cream making it
had worked a great deal of hardship
on him and all other business that
followed this method of conveying
their advertising. He urged that the
ordinance be revised or repealed.
The mayor pointed out that the
ordinance had been adopted in 1906
and was on the books of the city, that
it would be necessary to follow the
law that provided a tax of $25 for the
bill posting and distribution and that
there could be no discrimination. If
wished the city could have the com-

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. City Clerk
Olson stated that the ordinance pro
vided that the walks might be used
for five hours a day.
