Forty-five more distributing stations

company completes another refinery

day close to six hundred thousand dol

toned property back of this company
there are over one hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars ($125,-

is Come down to Cherryvale and see

selling oil and big money is already
being realized on the Cherryvale plant,

which to ship oil to patrons until the
tank stations are completed. Twenty
carloads of barrels will be received

Uncle Sam refined oil are coming in
from all over Kansas and all will be
filed just as fast as the refinery can
