01
Wet roads. Dark afternoons. The maroon tanker still makes the driveway.
02
A nor’easter is when you find out who actually shows. Hose down. House warm.
03
October fill, leaves on the lawn. Top the tank before the first snap.
The family book
1971
Fifty winters. Same maroon tanker. Same number on the door. Automatic, will-call, or a one-shot fill — Vickers Oil has kept Western Massachusetts houses in heat since Nixon was in office.
The maroon tank, the white cab, the number on the door — 413.737.3477 — that’s the same book this family has run for more than fifty winters.

How the book runs
01
Automatic
Degree-days on the book. We come before the gauge is a problem.
02
Will-call
You watch the tank. At a quarter, call or write the ticket. Next run, you’re on it.
03
Pre-pay
Buy gallons when the posted is friendly. They sit on account until a maroon tanker uses them.
