Oil heat is the new thing. 

As time changes so do we  and the first home heating fuel oil truck was purchased and we became a cash heating oil discount company. The first heating oil truck was not automatic, no power steering either as a matter of fact they had to real the hose up by hand and wow we thought we had it bad.   as the heating oil business grows my father Felix signed up for classes for hearting oil burner service and installations  school at Philadelphia wireless at 15th & Pine st . (That is the same school that I went too) they would convert your old coal stove into an heating oil burner by take out the Coal grades and install a combustion chamber oil burner and usually a 275 gallon fuel oil tank was installed in the basement sometime the basement steps were too small for the heating oil tank so they would have to cut a hole in the floor and drop the tank through. man they worked hard.

Yet time still keeps going 

 as the third generation comes to work yes I was part of the third-generation i remember the last coal deliveries i helped with that delivery . It was on 24th street i am so glad it was the last it took a lot more time.Than a home heating oil delivery you had to find a place to back up set the shoots and the hydraulic truck bed would lift hopefully the coal slides down but if not you had to push it down with a shovel hard work.  Now its just home heating oil and oil burner service and we do it with pride!
