Book Description

Excerpt from Oil Fuel Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio fields was considered too valuable to be used for any but refinery purposes, and, moreover, it was not adapted for fuel in its crude stages, on account of its light, volatile nature. With the opening up of the California, Oklahoma, and Gulf Coast oil fields, of Texas, Louisiana and Mexico-yielding a heavier product in enormous quantities, and one admirably adapted for boiler use - these conditions were changed, the consequence being a demand for oil, with all its advantages over any other commercial fuel except natural gas. The Texas Company was early in this oil fuel field, organizing in the year 1902. Since that time, by fair dealing and reliability, in connection with con stant attention to the demands of its customers, its present large oil fuel trade has been developed.
