Margery's assertion that her

GASOLINE AND THE f. o. b. IDEA
BY Il. I PHILLIPS

Copyright. 1880, by The Associated Newspapers)
1t Is announced that the Standard Oil Company.
applying the principle used in the automobile indus
try, will fix its prices Of gasoline on a factory basis,
plus a fixed handling charge. plus freight. The
price Of gas to the ultimate consumer viii be figured
to the tenth OF a cent. Thus the price in a seaport
city may be 1868 per gallon and in a town fifty miles
away l76
The outlook for misunderstanding and arguments
at pumping stations this spring and summer in a
case when the motorists or the gas-station attendant
isn't quick at fractions is splendid.
Thanks to Standard Oil. any lengthy stay at the
wheel of an automobile from now on will combine
the features Of a tour. a mathematical workout and
an anagram party.
In New York City, for instance, a gallon Of gas will
cost you seventeen and three-tenths cents. IN Yon-
kers, a few miles outside. you must pay eighteen and
three-tenths and If you so on to Brewster you viii
have to come across with eighteen and eight-tenths
cents per gallon.
In other words, no matter where you buy your gas
you will come home with a veStful OF pennies and
only a vague idea whether you've made any errors
in arithmetic or not.
