Pipe Line Appeals
To Industrialists
To Come to Texas
Aiming to stimulate industrials
nation in the Gulf South, United
Gas Pipe Line Company is devot-
ing its national advertising to a
direct invitation to American in-
dustry to locate in this region.
The new series of direct-appeal
advertisements urge industrialists
to investigate the industrial op-
portunities of the Gulf South for
post-war expansion.
United Gas has been carrying
on this advertising program since
1 li.'fy in National publications total
ing more than a million and a half
circulation. Included in the group
of publications currently used are
Time, Business Week and Wall
Street Journal. The sole purpose
of the national advertising at the
outset was to build greater pay-
rolls, more jobs, and greater pros-
perity for the people of this state
and it.n surrounding area.
During the war years, however,
the company turned from indus-
trial development advertising to
stimulating war production in the
Gulf South, on behalf of the na-
tional war effort. For nearly four]
years, the advertisements, running j
monthly, told <>f the vast resources'
and facilities of the Gulf South
dedicated to war and the story of
Gulf South workmen serving their
country on the home front.
Now, with the victory won and
reconversion under way, United
is returning to its original pro-
gram to help develop its area, the
Gulf South industnally and so
hasten the day when it will be-
come one of the great industrial
sections of the United States.

Reasons for Army
Enlistments
"Extended furloughs, enlistment
bonuses, educational and loan ben-
efits, family allowances, retire-
ment on half pay after twenty
years' service, and other benefits
which Congress has authorized for
volunteers are not designed to put
a price on patriotism or make it
profitable," 1st. Lt. Richard M.
Cummins said today. "They are
only partial compensation for the
obvious sacrifices required by mil-
itary service. Love of country and
pride in service under its flag are
still the basic reasons for enlist-
ment in the United States Army."
"But the day when food, cloth-
ing, shelter, ami small pay were
considered ample reward is long
past," he continued. "The Ameri-
can soldier of the future will en-
joy every advantage of Ameri-
can life."
