Jensen Fuel Co.at 6238 South Tacoma Way and its fleet of modern oil delivery trucks. Jensen Fuel was founded in 1891 by Robert Jensen and was run in the 1950s by his son Everett Jensen, who took over management in 1934. Jensen's first delivery service was a small wagon and a single team of horses. The company first supplied wood, followed successively by coal, sawdust and fuel oil. In early 1950, the company became a pioneer in radio dispatched fuel oil delivery. (TNT 3/2/1950 pg. 33)
