1960's NO-NONSENSE BUSINESS WITH IKE'S ADVICE . . .

My parents said, "Time for gas."  Into the gas station we turned running over the bing-bing, pulling up to the pump as the Gas Attendant ran out to our car saying, "What for you today?"  Then my parent would say, "Hi-test and fill it up" with a reply back from the Attendant, "and check under the hood?"  "Yes, thanks," my parent answered.  Then after the Attendant checked the oil, water in the radiator, looked at the tires and even wiped the windows clean, among other things, he would say, "Ok, that's a $3.00 fill-up, THANKS  AND COME AGAIN!", after my parent paid the bill, our car cranked and off we went.

Why is this so important that the Attendant would ask the things in terms of business sense?  Are there key words that appear in the illustration above that trigger business ideas and express in words how they are implemented in your own business strategies and what effects do they have on your business if any?  Can you tell us a story from your past (from the 60's) that might reflect any of the above attitudes?  Please opine in 50 words or less about as many or as few points as you want to discuss.  Thanks and come back soon.

IKE FOR PRESIDENT

                                       
Why would IKE warn the U.S.A. about building such a BIG military as he is leaving office in 1961?  At what cost does overextending the military in any direction cause  the U.S.A.?   Which wars was IKE post-war and pre-war to? Please opine in 50 words or less about as many or as few points as you want to discuss.  Thanks and come back soon.
