GULF REFINING CO.

Too much praise and commendation cannot be heaped upon Mrs. T. M. Walden, local distributor for Good Gulf products, for the efficient manner with which she is directing the affairs of this popular organization. Although she has been living in DeFuniak Springs for two years, during this time she has won countless friends through her friendly, courteous disposition. Thoroughly business, she is making the company she represents an A-1 agent, and this newspaper congratulates her.

Under Mrs. Walden’s direction, Good Gulf serves approximately 50 stations in this territory, which includes Walton, the western half of Holmes and Okaloosa counties. She also operates a modern filling station in the heart of town, where motorists can obtain that Good Gulf gasoline and Supreme Motor oil.

It’s hardly necessary to discuss the qualities of Good Gulf. But let this newspaper man say one thing about it–and we mean it. It’s by far the best gasoline we’ve ever used, and we stick to Good Gulf. Give it one trial, is our dare, and then try to get away from it. Then there’s the Supreme Motor Oil, the 100 miles per hour oil–recognized by motorists everywhere as King of motor oil.

Mrs. Walden is contributing to this “Buy It In DeFuniak Springs Campaign” because she is public spirited; because she wants to do her part in any worthy movement for the good of her community.

The Breeze – February 16, 1911 – Page 4

At a meeting of the Ladies Missionary Society of the Presbyterian church last Monday afternoon the following resolutions were adopted:–

The Ladies Home and Foreign Missionary Society is called upon again to mourn the loss of a beloved and useful member, in the passing away of Mrs. Daniel Gillis.

Mrs. Gillis was preeminently a woman of the Home, where, as wife and mother, she was a model for immitation, and she was a most faithful member of the church: in her place at all meetings, when possible and fully in sympathy with the services at God’s house. And this is true of her, as a member of our society, in the work of which she always manifested the liveliest interest.

She will be greatly missed by us. Her loss enlarges the void made in our ranks by the loss of the other two noble women, so recently called to go up higher.

We will not forget her attractive and strong personality, her gracious and cheerful Christian bearing, and her consistent piety. We call on ourselves to follow her “conversation,” remembering that our Lord can be the same to us that He was to her.

We enter upon our record, also the deep sympathy which we feel for the bereaved household, and ask of God that her prayers in their behalf may continue to be answered.

It is ordered that this action be communicated to the afflicted husband and children.

Mrs. Wm. W. Flournoy
Caroline S. Walden
Committee.
