Gift Car Withdrawn!
Beginning November 15th, this com
pany offered to give a coupon with
every 5-gallon purchase of Red Crown
Gasoline in Omaha from November
15th to December 15th, with the under
standing that the holder of the lucky
coupon would have his choice of one of
four sedans, Buick, Hudson, Nash or
Studebaker Special.
The reason for this campaign was to
induce those who thought it necessary
to pay a premium for quick starting
winter gasoline to fill their cars with
Red Crown, the “balanced” gasoline, to
satisfy thertisel ves that it was the ideal
winter fuel.
The plan as outlined was no different
than similar gift enterprises carried on •
from time to time in Omaha by busi
ness houses, merchants, societies,
churches, fairs and others, and because
of this common practice this company
assumed the plan was legal.
Since the commencement of this cam
paign, we have learned there is a ques
tion of its legality. It has always been
the policy of this company to comply
willingly with the laws of the country,
and consistent with such policy we are
hereby withdrawing this offer.
