GASOLINE NOW
A BIG PRODUCT

creased.
This demand led up to good prices
and good prices led up to the use Of
the compressor to assist the gas
pump and increase the output,
The development of the gasoline
business since the advent Of the
compressor has been to say the
least marvellous. In 1905 the total
amount Of drip gasoline produced
and saved in the Sistersville fell
was in the neighborhood of 1876
barrels, We are producing more
than that now in one week, ami
the end is not yet. The casing-head
gasoline business has come to the
trent and made history faster than
any other commercial business that
history gives any record of. Even
ono year ago the home product was
despised and slaudered and passed
upon as being worthless and danger

valuable product.
