Another Great Step Forward in Transportation
PIPE LINES PROGRESS
. For the first time in history a gasoline pipe line is now under construction
in the southeastern states. When completed it will run from Port St. Joe, Florida,
through Georgia to the Tennessee line near Chattanooga.
Although more than 7,000 miles of gasoline pipe lines are now in successful
and safe operation in this country, not one of them is in the southeastern states.
That this progressive movement will be popular with gasoline consumers in
this part of the country is obvious to all forward-looking citizens. It is a mod
ern step that has proved to be uniformly successful wherever tried. Twenty
cadeS!? ° f gas ° line transportation have demonstrated that pipe lines are the
DArlibl means known to science.
Experience everywhere pipe lines are used has proved, beyond doubt, that
this means of transportation is the safest method. During the entire history of
the operation of the 7,000 miles of gasoline pipe lines in the United States, there
has never been one casualty.
L r te °T e £ xp ? rt ; am . ong many- this statement of Edward Shearwood, as
sistant fire chief of the city of Cincinnati, Ohio, is offered:
We feel that the transportation of petroleum products by means of a pipe

more work for more people.
SOUTHEASTERN PIPE LINE COMPANY
A New Industry for Georgia Atlanta, Georgia
THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1940
The gasoline industry owes it to the public to take advantage of the best plan'
for transporting its product. The consuming public deserves every possible price
concession that can come through the operation of a safe and economic, as well
as progressive system of transportation.
The pipe line in Georgia is being constructed for this reason—in order that
the consuming public may be granted every possible price concession on gaso
line that can come through the operation of a safe, practical, effective means
of transportation.
- It is not being constructed at the expense of the taxpayers. And it will bring,
through the taxes it pays, new revenue to the state and to each county and school
district in which it operates.
A
. Many people will be employed in the construction of the Southeastern Pipe
Line in Georgia and when it is finished many more people will be employed
in its permanent operation.
Terminals of the new line will be located at Bainbridge, Albany, Americus,
Macon, Griffin, Atlanta, Rome and Lookout Mountain, Georgia, near the Ten
nessee border. In all these places, as well as at other points on the line, peo
ple will be given permanent employment when it is in full operation. |
We say, therefore, that for the GREATEST SAFETY in transporting gasoline,
and for the CHEAPEST COST of such t the building of this pipe
line in Georgia is a genuine public service and one that should appeal to every
gasoline consumer, not only in Georgia, but in the entire southeast.
, We acknowledge the active support and influence of gasoline consumers in
this territory and of other citizens who may not use gasoline but who
aware of the benefits that will come from the employment of many people
in this industry.
We thank all forward-looking people who welcome this progressive
and constructive method in gasoline transportation, which has been used
for years in. other states and which, hitherto, has not been employed in this >
section of the country.
