Claim Increased
Demand Cause of
Gasoline Boost
Restricted Production by Re-
fineries Blamed as Cause
for One-Cent Raise.

An increased demand for gasoline
and the fact that many refineries
have been closed down are among
the chief fatcors assigned by local
dealers as the cause Of a one-cent
took place the first part Of this
week. Gasoline is now being sold
mere by both the Standard Oil Co.
and Independent companies for &c
cents a gallon. The price OF kero-
sene oil has also been advanced one
cent. According to local dealers,
they are unable TO state whether or
not a further increase in the price
OF gasoline is likely.
David Gurfoyle. local representa-
tive OF the Standard oil Co, in ex-
planning the reason for the increase
said that the wholesale prices of gas
Oline at the refineries have advanced
to such a point that the retail dealer
hasn't been making Il sufficient mar
gin Of profit. There is not as much
money made in the gasoline business
as formerly. according to Mr.. Gull
foyle, and many Of the rehneries in
the oklahoma fields have closed
down, causing somewhat of a scare
ity in the supply Of gasoline,
vs.. Fl. Woolums OF the Consumers
Service CO. likewise attributed the
increase 10 the greater demand for
gasoline and 10 the fact that a num-
Der OF the rsfneries have been
shut down and are only now resum-
ing operations. According TO Mr..
WOOlums, the refneries have beer
hard hit by the comparatively low
price Of gasoline and many OF them
have been losing money When there
is no demand. he explained. they are
obliged 10 store up the gasoline pro-
duced. and since many ca mot afford
10 store il up they have found Z
necessary 10 suspend operations. He
pointed out that the refneries have
absorbed One-half cent Of the raise,
leaving the other half cent OF the
increase 10 the retail dealers.
