395.0074.175 Service Enterprises Making Retail Sales. A firm was engaged in providing certain oil exploration services. In connection with such services, it pumped nitrogen gas into wells to force oil to the surface. The firm also held a seller's permit for the retail sale of nitrogen gas. The sales were incidental to the primary service activity.
The firm's primary business was the rendition of services. The sales of nitrogen were incidental and unrelated to the primary business, and did nothing to enhance the primary activity.
