As we have already 150 gallons of Shell fuel we think it will be advisable to order this from the Shell Company in order to save any possible confusion which may arise at a later date. When ordering this fuel, will you please ask the Shell Co. to mark their barrels distinctly. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/H.R.Young. | ||
