Immense { QnR
Is Erected Here
By Oil Company

The Campeco Oil company has
erected in Baraboo one of the
largest, if not the largest, gaso-
line tank in the state outside Of
Milwaukee. The tank has a cap
acity Of 10000 gallons or about
fifteen carloads. In order TO test
tho tank, 100000 gallons of water
was poured into it from city
main and after standing overnight
it was found shat there had been
no leakage. The water cost the
company about SIS. The advan-
tage of having such large tank
is that gasoline can be purchased
at low price and. stored to be
sold at a higher price.
The tank is situated just east
of the viaduct over the railroad,
near the Deppe lumber yard, and
is located on the Island Woolen
mill company railroad spur The
pump is about halfway. between
the tank and the railroad track.
Ten cars of gasoline have been
pumped into fhe tank this week.
The gasoline will be used at the
filling station near at hand AMI
to supply the comPany's customers
