Alaska Gets
Bulk Oil For
Many Points
Bulk, delivery to the Aleutian
Islands and Bering Sea ports of
petroleum products and the com
pletion of storage tanks at im-!
portant points for better serving
needs of mining and fishing indus
tries over a large area is announc
ed by the Standard Oil Company
of California. The move is one of
the most important affecting Al
aska made in years, writes E. J.
Dalby in the Seattle P.-I.
Bulk storage tanks construct
ed by the Standard Oil Com
pany at central stations, such as
Dutch Harbor, Platinum, Bethel.!
and Nome together with a com
mercial bring bulk distribution to
the area. Heretofore it was de
pendent upon supplies shipped
from the Pacific Coast in iron bar
rels and cases.
Over Wide Area
This further development of
the company’s Alaskan service is
of particular importance to mine
operators and salmon packers in
the Bering Sea range where in
the past, in some localities, con
turners have had to place orders
a year in advance.
The change in method of sup
ply will result in a substantial
reduction in cost to consumers
and is expected to have an accel
erating eject on operations of in
dustries.
