We started out buying our home heating oil from Beyer & Fortner. When Beyer & Fortner was sold to a Rochester corporation, soon the price of heating oil went up. Klose & Sons in nearby Mifflinburg was selling it for less. Since I owed considerably less to the state of New York than to Mifflinburg, I switched fuel companies and put my oil payments to work locally. When Buffalo Valley Telephone Company was bought by Windstream Holdings of Arkansas, the Lewisburg office was closed.
