Content: VII 51 [embossed in lower left corner] Wint Studio, Allentown, PA [typewritten on separate paper] Courtesy of International Motor Co. From the distributing station refined oil is carried to retailers or directly to consumers in tank wagons (horse drawn) or tank trucks (motors). Grocers, householders and factories are all supplied with oil from the tank wagon, but the most familiar scene is the tank truck taking gasoline to an automobile filling station.
