sublets which don i concern us too directly it is dismissed it is not dismissed so light ly by the dealer however in the present gasoline price war now raging in town the price at time of writing has dropped to 36 9c a gallon in an effort to find out how this affected the dealer your herald reporter talked toj some of them surprisingly enough their opinions var led widely regarding the cause and effect of price wars some dealers feel that the oil companies themselves start the price skid one buys a big load of cheap qas then their dealers have to sell it was one opinion however the maionty of
