Have Much Better Year.
During that portion of the year
1930 the Nehawka Farmers Oil com
pany from January 1st, 1930, as com
pared with the same period of the
year 1929, showed an increase in
their business of 34 per cent. As the
business had grown very nicely dur
ing the first year and there was dis
tributed over sixteen per cent of the
business, during 1929, there being
six per cent on the stock, and ten per
cent on the busines done, they were
well satisfied, but when this period
of the year shows a gain of 34 per
cent, they are all more than satis
fied. This is especially pleasing to
the officers and the management as
the company was new and were fight
ing for an existence. The board of
directors at the meeting passed a
resolution for the installing of an
other tan's so there would be more
storage room, as under the present
circumstances the capacity has been
scarcely enough and with the in
creased business it was found neces
sary to increase the storage capacity.
