$500 100-lb cylinders at a time.
Since 1916, four bulk storage
tanks, each having a capacity of
10000 gallons have been added to
the plant, which now totals 120.-
900 gallon storage The plant is
kept in supply with l.. p. Gas by
two tractor-trailer tank trucks,
which haul fuel around the clock
from the Sinclair Refining Com
pany I'M Marcus Hook, Pennsylya-
MIA, and Tidewater Refining Com
pany, in Delaware City.
On January 2, 1854. the COM
pany sold its furniture and cleo
trical appliance store in order that
it might operate and expand ex-
clusively in the gas ard gas appli-
ance business. Plans were draft
ed to erect a modern new store on
the dupont Boulevard.
On September IL. 1854, the new
store and Office building was Off
cially opened and the attendance
for the opening day was 3,467 peo-
pie. Since then the company has
grown rapidly and has extended
its distribution to areas from Cape
Charles, Va, to Elkton, Md
In 1867, the company added the
r. c. A. Radio-Telephone system,
making it possible to send and re-
ceive messages from their auto
motive equipment which offered
their customers much faster SER
vice.
In 1960,a new ultra-modern gar
age was completed and was equip
ped to handle the company's auto
motive maintenance. Three men
are employed steady to keep the
38 pieces of automotive equipment
in first class condition in order to
distribute gas and gas appliances
to thousands of customers. Many
gas appliance dealers depend on
Collins and Ryan for gas appli-
ance parts, since the company has
the largest stock of gas appliances
on the Eastern Shore. Sixty en-
ployees are hired steady by the
company and the company offers
"a hour-a-day radio dispatched
free service to their gas custom
ers.
The company was owned by Mr..
Z. B. Collins and +. G. Ryan from
1911 to 1910 In the year 1910,
Joseph f. Collins, son of +. B. Col
Inns, purchased a one-third inter
est in the company and from 1910
until 1945, the company was own
ed in equal shares by these three
men. In 1945. Z. c. Ryan retired
and sold his interest in the COM
pany to f. b. Collins and Joseph
Z. Collins. In 1850. the company
was incorporated. From 1945 to
1858. the company was owned
equally by K. NJ Collins and JOS
eph Z. Collins. On May 81, 1858,
the company suffered a great loss,
the death of Mr.. E. b. Collins.
Since then the company has been
owned entirly by Mr.. Joseph E.
Collins.
There are no major changes in
view at present for the company
but it appears certain that if any
new developments are introduced
in the /. p. Gas Industry. Collins
and Ryan will be prepared to pass
new developments along to the
people of the Eastern Shore and
continue to give the fine service
which has been the main key to
the success of Collins and Ryan.

Senator Mansfield said he eX-
poets a presidential proposal
for renewal Of the Reciprocal
Trade Agreements Act to pro-

The economy of the coun-

some of the members Of Con-

the strongest supporters of the
reciprocal trade program now
must be listed as critics of it

category" he observed. But it
is something we must face up

this years m Getting, which
lasted from January until the
latter part Of September.
