Company Will Operate Its
OrUn Filling Stations.

The Standard OIL Company Of New
York, to protect and enlarge its busi-
ness, will enter into the retail distribu-
ton Of gasoline on a broad scale and
will erect pumping stations all through
Its territory. This action. 1t was learned
yesterday, was deemed necessary be-
cause of the actions of some garage
operators who have been diluting the
gasoline they sold from their pumps.
thereby causing 1t to receive a reputa-
.tion OF inferiority.
Several other oil companies have their
own filling stations In the Standard $
territory and as a result 1t was feared
that they finally would get the business
heretofore controlled by the Standard s
agents. By operating its own pumping
stations and selling to tho public an un-
diluted grade OF gasoline the Standard
hopes to strengthen It's good will among
consumers.
The Standard OIL Company of New
Jersey some time ago announced its in
tention Of entering into the retail field
by means OF pumping stations, about
sixteen OF which have been placed In
operation In Baltimore. Others also are
operating In Newark but Il Is not the
intention Of the parent company TO 90

scale as will the New York company.

lished filling stations at Hartford,
