Gilmore Building
Near Completion

The bulk distributing plant now
under construction at Imperial for
the Gilmore Oil Company, Ltd. to
serve Imperial Valley is nearing
completion. 1t is the plan to in
augurate distribution of its patent
ed carbon eliminating Gilmore Blu
Green gasoline Immediately, through
local Independent service stations.
The Gilmore Oil Company FORMER
ly distributed Blu-Green gasoline
through a chain of stations in the
valley. These station were pur-
chased outright by a gasoline refin-
ing company and Gilmore withdrew
its products. This was done in
keeping faith with its policy to
distribute it's gasoline and lubricat'
ing oils solely through Independent
service stations.
Since December 1929 sales of Gil.
more Blu-Green gasoline have more
than doubled according to Otto
Boyd, divisional sales supervisor of
the company. The company now
has plants throughout the entire
Pacific coast.

matter out with the judge in police
court
Double parking and other viola
tions, not only of the city ordin-
ance but of the rights of other mot
lists, as well, were pointed out as
other objects upon which the police
will concentrate their efforts, seek
ing to do away with the continual
tangle of traffic on Main street
which makes it a menace, the po-
lice official said.
