FUEL OIL? 



Bill, I can not fill your furnace oil tank today. But I will put in 

 enough to run you a week or so. I know this situation worries you. 

 That's why I want to talk to you. There just isn't enough burner 

 fuel to give everyone all he wants whenever he wants it. This short- 

 age affects everyone in the industry — not just us alone. 



Oil production is now greater than ever before, even greater than 

 during the peak war years. But consumption has increased much 

 more rapidly than production. All this boils down to the cold fact, 

 that today there just isn't enough petroleum products to meet 

 the demand. 



However, the situation is not so dark but that we can see an open 

 road ahead. We can get by if every user saves every gallon possible. 

 I'm asking each of my customers to heat only that portion of the 

 house absolutely necessary. Close off all the rest. Keep the daytime 

 temperature of the heated part between 68 to 70° F. Then at night 

 drop the temperature to 60" F. or less. This type of operation may 

 not give the greatest comfort, but it will save between 10 to 15% 

 of the gallonage needed and will give a like saving in your fuel bill. 



We've licked bigger problems than this and by working together, 

 we'll lick this one!
