will find a way
to increase the yield
of useful products
from a barrel of crude oil.
. . . Perhaps they’ll be able
to make improvements
in the fine products
already supplied you.
• . , Perhaps they’ll develop
an entirely new group
of petroleum products.
Who knows !
This much, however, is certain:
Humble research scientists
at Baytown use every device
of physics, chemistry,
mathematics and mechanics
to provide you with more
and better petroleum products.
Two quick examples:
The specifications for
Esso Extra gasoline, the formula
for Humble Uniflo motor oil.
These, without question,
are the finest products
you can use in your car.

of
of
valuable water supply is essen-
tial to every phase of our life,
whether it be for personal use,
farming, ranching, business, or
the industrial development of
this area. Past legislatures have
failed to solve this problem;
future sessions must find the
answer.”
Continous improvement of
our schools, tightening of nar-
cotics laws, closer regulation of
insurance companies and loan
sharks, a continued and grow-
ing concern for the dependent
aged, plus a sincere attempt at
correcting irregularities in State
Government are also part of the
Boysen platform.
“During past months I have
visited and talked with many
people in Lavaca and Gonzales
Counties,” Boysen said. “In the
months to come I want to dis-
cuss the problems of our dis-
trict with everyone possible. I
prize highly the advice and
counsel of the people of our dis-
trict. If you have further sug-
gestions to offer, please write
to me at Route 4, Yoakum,
Texas.
I sincerely desire to serve as
your State Representative, and
earnestly solicit your confi-
dence, your support and your
vote.”
Stanley Boysen, former Gon-
zales farmer who now resides
in Lavaca County near Yoa-
kum, today officially announ-
ced his candidacy for election as
47, serving Lavaca and Gonza-
les Counties.
Born in 1925 in the Hochheim
Community, he is the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Boy-
sen, small farmers in that
community. A lifetime resident
of this area, he is a graduate
of Yoakum High School.
Following two and one-half
years of Navy service in the
South Pacific during World
War II, he farmed for three
years in the Dreyer Commu-
nity, before entering the Uni-
versity of Texas.
In 1951 he married the form-
er Winona Wischkaemper of
Yorktown, and with both work-
ing he was able to finish his
formal education and obtain a
degree in Business Administra-
tion. While working his way
through school he served as
assistant Sergeant-At-Arms in
the House of Representatives.
In this job he learned much a-
bout legislative procedure, and
also gained a thorough working
knowledge of State Govern-
ment.
In a prepared statement Boy-
sen said, “A background of bu-
siness education combined with
a knowledge of legislative func-
tions, gained while serving as
assistant Sergeant-At-Arms in
the House of Representatives,
should enable me to render the
best possible service to the peo-
ple of Lavaca and Gonzales
Counties.
Having spent most of my life
on a farm, I know from per-
sonal experience the need to
continue an adequate rural road
program.
A vital need also exists to re-
cognize the problem of the far-
mers and ranchers in their
struggle for existence, and to
support such efforts as will help
improve their lot in the matter
of increased income as well as
drouth relief.
Water has become of prime
importance to all of us. Legis-
lation that will insure proper

ting bodice and a full gathered

a bouquet of yellow iris.
