Palmer’s country store was the place to go for everything you needed, from milk to mail. William started selling bottled gas out of the back of his pickup truck in 1949 to local residents and summer tourists. His customers were neighbors and friends, and everyone in town had a smile for the Palmer pickup truck. The kerosene and fuel oil business was founded by Charles A. Ermer in the greater Salem area in 1932 and was merged with the propane business in 1981 by Charles’ son, Bill Ermer to become Palmer Gas/Ermer Oil. Now, more than 85 years later with both propane and fuel oil under the same roof, and Bill Ermer at the helm, Palmer Gas & Oil is still making people smile.
