Griffin Fuel began business in 1889 as a horse drawn moving company for any kind of commodities. By 1904, Griffin Fuel had moved to this location and focused in on the fuel business. They delivered and sold fuel in the forms of oil, coal, wood and sawdust. Pat Cardin, recently appointed manager of Griffin burner & diesel oil business, helped Ed Griffin design this new style oil tank delivery truck. Its design included a centrifugal silent pump.
