Re: Who supplied the oil

SP purchased a significant amount of fuel oil from Standard Oil Company of California, and took delivery of said fuel oil in a number of western states outside of California. This led to a lawsuit when the State of California challeged the "no sales tax" nature of these out of state deliveries.

You can read about the lawsuit, and the outcome, here:

The oil in this case was delivered in the later 1930s, but the appeals were finally settled in 1944!
