Within the past three weeks the Old
wooden building that stood on the Stand
ard Oil company's property at the corner
of Vernon street and Morningside road
has been torn down and this week two
employees of the Page Woven Wire Fence
company of Adrian, Mich, have been
erecting a woven wire fence about the
company's property, adding much to its
appearance. At present the Standard
Oil company employs three men here,
Agent David Carey and Drivers, Guy Ia
tro and Guy Tudor, and has six horses
three tank wagons and three tank sleds.
On the property on Vernon street there is
a commodious barn built of brick with
cement floors, three tanks, one of $4,000
gallons capacity for kerosene oil and one
of $4,000 and another of 1880 gallons for
gasoline The oil and gasoline are pump
ed from the cars to the tanks by means
of two pumps one for gasoline and the
other for kerosene, which are operated by
gasoline engine. Agent Carey has been
working for the company nearly 20 years
and when he entered its employ the horse
that hauled the small amount of oil about

was hired. Now a large part of the
county is supplied by oil from the local
station
