Sales Manager of Chandler Company
Cites Facts of Gas Production
in Letter to Distributer.
"In view of the statements bv A. C.
Bedford, chairman of the Petroleum
War Service Committee, our gasoline
supply is ample for all Durooses and
the reserve stock is accumulating so
rapidly that storage facilities are be
ing taxed to the utmost.
"As outlined in a recent renort bv
the National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce gasoline is so plentiful
that officials at Washington have
recommended its more generous use.
so that there may be no difficulty
about the Government obtaining its
fuel supply, which comes only after
gasoline is taken from the crude."
states James M. Dunlap, sales mana
ger of the Chandler Motor Car Com
pany, Cleveland, Ohio, In a letter to
Martin Reid, localChandler distribu
ter.

tinuous and ample supply of fuel oil
for the many uses of the navv. mer
chant ships, munitions factories and
other industrial plants," continues
Mr. Dunlfin. "and. as pasnlina la-tii
the nature of a by-product of fuel oil, !
it is unreasonable to even think of a

gasoline production at 6,849,000 gal
lons a day, while ourwar needs are
only 959,000 gallons.
"Just consider it nearly seven
millions of gallons a day! And. with
insistent demands by the government
for more fuel oil, even this tremen
dous production will probably be Increased."
