iVnl OIL, according 10 the BrdttIeDOrO
Phoenix. On this account the merchants
began using oil refined by the Indopen-
dent Oil company. and the Standard oil
company put III the field a delivery wagon
in what the merchants claim was an at
tempt to freeze them out. 1t has been
demonstrated, the merchants say, that
the consumers prefer the lndcpedcnt Oh
company's product to the Lux Lucum oil.

that the Standard Oil company has de-
cided to supply better oil. The mer-
chants state, however, that they VIII not
handle the Homelight oil unless the
Standard Oil company removes its retail
agent from the field.
