"I Like Dixie Service"
"When I buy things I like to think that I'm doing
more than trading dollars* for mere products. It may
sound silly in this era of hard-boiled business, but I
like to feel that I'm buying service, and a courteous
interest in my needs and desires.
"That's why I always drive into a Dixie Station.
I'm sure I'm getting the best products—and there is
a spontaneous courtesy and interest that every woman driver appreciates so much.
*I like Dixie Service,"
