Standard Oil Erects
 Warehouse and Tanks

The Standard Oil Company has just completed a $2.0O0 ware house in the eastern part of town, which includes two tanks of a capacity of 10000 gallons. This new enterprise added to the business interests of Holbrook, means a great deal, as large quantities of gasoline and the products of this company are be- Ing used in this section of the country. It also means that the consumers will be able to get thIs much needed fuel at a re- duced price for their cars, and perhaps it will result, If the price of the oil and gasoline is put at a reasonable figure. in it's use for pumping water for irri- gation.
 The question of cheap fuel is an important one, and if it can be solved, it will result in put ting Holbrook among the first towns on the Santa Fe line. So let us hope that the Standard Oil Company will be interested .suffi- clently in the building up of thls community to make the price on it's products right.
 The Standard Oil Company is known all oyer the world, and it has been a factor in building up many great towns. Those con- nected with it are of the highest business character, and no doubt have an interest in advancing the interests of the communities in which they operate.
 One switch has already been put in for the convenience of un- loading and loading the oil and gasoline.
 o. R. Gardner. a well known and popular business man of this city. has been made manager for Holbrook, and his appointment meets with general satisfaction.
