According to a statement made to-
day by E. T. Ferguson, district sales
manager Of the Standard Oil Com
pany, who has been, in the valley
during the past few days, new
Standard Oil distributing stations
are soon to be erected at Seeley,
Heber, Westmorland and Jacumba.
Arrangements are already under
way for construction of these units,
each of which will consist Of "a
group of modern buildings, includ-
ing warehouse, garage and storage
tanks, representing total invest
ment of many thousand Of dollars.
Special care is being given to de-
tails of arrangements and construe-
ton in order that each plant will
present an attractive appearance. s
A number of new employees will
be added to the company's force
With a resultant increase in the pay
roll of several thousand dollars. q
This extension of the marketing
system of the Standard i Oil Com
pany means improved service for
these commun les in the obtaining
of petroleum Products. 1t will give
to each point tank truck and pack
age truck delivery service equal to
that of the largest cities.
The full significance of this an
nouhcement may be realized when it
is known that the Standard Oil
Company's decision to place distrib-

reached only after a thorough and
analytical study of local business
conditions, the growth Of the com
