he Standard Oil at Holbrook was
elso in the city. The result of their
visit is the location Of distribut-
ng station here. Winslow is prob
2bly the largest city in the country
which is without station and this
has been because the company had
one at Holbrook and delivery of oil
las been made from there by truck

md there is real demand for a
supply station here. The site has
not been definitely located as yet
but will be in the next few days and
he installation Of the plant will be
commenced very shortly.
