Sf At least C. E. Shellenbarger, vj Sinclair service station operator j here, explained that motorists 55 are in just as big a hurry while having the gas and oil checked C5 at a filling station. It was one of the sidelight comments of J). Shellanbarger as he outlined CJ phases of the service station 4 business to fellow Rotarians here Tuesday noon. J "E'ery customer is always in a hurry," Sh3l'e:ibcre? said. "It doesn't make any difxerance rj whether they a.'3 L'olng any place or not." He told the Eoiarirns that f service station operators are big time tax collectors in Nebraska. 5 The rcent one cent gas tax in- crease voted by the legislature yi will mean that service station sr operators will collect an addi- H tional 4I2 million dollars in W taxes. And all for free. About i 70 million dollars will be col- 7 lected by Nebraska dealers this year. jJJ Shellenbarger also pointed out that giving free information is vJ one of the big jobs for service f station attendants. He ex- y plained that service, price, con- p5 venience and location are im- ffS portant in the business. ys a a. 11 : t i i 1 Vr me session, uuiunans aiso learned that the Plattsmouth club had 103 percent attendance 1 a week ago.
