permission. / would like to ask d
few questions for our gasoline

Why Is 1t that Clarksburg deal

for gas while you sell II for 80
cents? You pay the same price for
Z II and II you wish mo 70 tell what
that price Is I can do so. It Is ridi-
Eculous for dealers To- charge sir
and even seven cents profit on a
gallon of gasoline, and some get
teven more. Fairmont people
should not have to pay so much
more for gasoline than Clarksbhrg
people do when the cost TO dealers
I is just the same. am going %
keep on asking some questions in
regard to this till I get an answer
or get lower prices on gas. VIVA,
do the people say, will they back
