The hasM of rompeMtion hetw en the I'tah oil Refining company's oils and tlie I'eniisyp.diiia oils is that both are paraffin base. All the California oils are asphalt base and it has been the custom cus-tom to import paraffin base Pennsylvania oils and t-oin pound them with tliu California Cali-fornia oils in order to produce a higher gravity. The California companies have found out that t he oiis produced by the I 'ta h company, being a st net ly paraffin base oil, are fully as good in every re-apo't re-apo't as the paraffin Pen nay lvo nia oil, and consequentiv they are supplanting the latter with the product of the Utah company. com-pany.
