I did a quick search on the archive database at Steamtown on "gasoline".
While only a fraction of our archives are on the computer and searchable, I
thought you might be interested in the results. Each one of these listings
reflect a folder in the archives.

mindset is in "today" terms, where when you have a product, you ship it
to a large regional distribution center and then truck it out to local
dealers. It works for gas this way, as well as a host of other things,
from appliances to clothes. Everything seems to work on a
macrodistribution level.

spot and then shipping from that point, it would appear that the
manufacturer (or refinery, in this case) would ship product out in tank
cars destined for individual customers. Am I making a correct assumption?
