It is California's first oil refinery where crude oil from the State's "di scot cry" well was distilled to make kerosene. But Thomas Edison and that rich-man's plaything, the automobile, soon knocked the bottom out of the kerosene market and shortly after the refinery was built in 1676 it was no longer profitable to operate. A sentimental oil company recently restored the crumbling affair in memory of D. G. Scofield and his pioneer associates of the California Star Oil Works. lng from 130-Inch to 106-Inch, the truck has a four apced transmission and a single reduction full-floating rear axle.
