The most dramatic mo\e into the lield 

 ot production and manutacture was the 

 recent purchase ol the Pana Relining 

 Company. This purchase iinolved all ot 

 the outstanding capital stock ot the Pana 

 Relining Compan) as well as the facili- 

 ties including in\entories. pipe lines, 

 stocks ol crude oil. and buildings. 



Ihe annual production capacity ol tlic 

 Pana Relining Company is about s>.00().- 

 000 gallons ol fuels. At the time of pur- 

 chase, approximately ^0 per cent of this 

 output was under contract to other firms. 

 Thus. Illinois I'arm Supply Company, this 

 year, will have about 

 sO per cent of the 

 total output of the 

 Pana Relming Com- 

 pany available for 

 Illinois Farm Bureau
