JONES MEMORIAL
GUILD MEETS
A very inspiring devotional by
Mrs. Miriam Spivey opened the
regular monthly meeting of the
Jones Memorial W.S.G.
The program “How Real Is the
Kingdom to Us” was presented
by Mrs. Betty Mealor with the
an open letter to “NICE PEOPLE”
1
August 18 was a gala day at Phillips 66 Stations. The
occasion was to thank you—to show our appreciation of you
and the way you have welcomed us and made us feel at
I
home here since we started serving you with Phillips 66
products.
It was a wonderful day.
We believe you had, a good time—know we did! !
Did you notice the children? Did you ever see so many
kids lap up so many lollipops? Pop so many balloons? Have
so much fun at a service station? The fun of watching the
future generation in action was worth all our trouble and
expense.
, There was the lady—bless her—who said: “If Flite-
Fuel is half as good as you people are friendly, my car
could reach the moon.” And the elderly gentleman who
made a friend for life of one of our clowns by saying: “Son,
you make some of those TV folks look sick.” And the po
liceman who got into the spirit of things and directed
traffic for us. Or any of you who by your actions told us
you appreciated our efforts.
One of our clowns put it this way: “How could we help
being friendly and cheerful when the people were so dog
gone nice.”
t
Guess that is what we want to say to you. Thank you,
nice people, for being so nice to us. We are going to do our
level best to make you feel welcome every time you drive in
at a Phillips 66 Station.
