Tidewater OIL Company.
Within the past year the Tidewater Oil
Company Of Georgia has been incorporated
as successor to the well-known oil firms of
Blodgett, Moore g. Co. of Savannah, Ga,
and Eher BIodgett & Co. of Charleston, s.
c. The former named firm had an extern
kive oil business on the South Atlantic coast,
and the Tidewater Oil Company, as its sue
cessor. has increased facilities for handling
the southern trade. The parent company,
the Tidewater Oil Company Of New York,
Office No - Broadway, owns the largest
single refinery in the world. This plant
covers eighty-f1ve acres Of land on the Kill
Won Kull river in the limits of the city of
Bayonne, n. j., with a wharfage capacity
for thirty ocean steamers. Their refnerIes
receive crude oil at the rate of 10000 barrels
per day, through a pipe line from the
Pennsylvania oil regions, which line is
owned and controlled by the company.
The Tidewater Oil Company produces, trans
ports, refines and markets its own oil. The
oil does not pass through any other hands
from the time ii leaves the oil fields until it
Is placed in the hands Of the consumer.
This company, at its different works, en-
pioys the most modern Improvements IN the
way of machinery. for refining and manu-
featuring their product of petroleum. The
Tidewater OIL Company of Georgia hos the
aoNdntdRe OF all tue lacIlltles WIN LHe liae-
water Oil Company of New York at
its back. ard was organized
TO make q channel through which to reach
the trade of the south. he Tidewater
Oil Company makes a speciality of high
grade goods, and in prominent northern
markets its products stand at the head of
the list. The trade desiring to use the finest
quality of lubricants and a high grade Of
turning oil VII do well to correspond with
this company and make a test of their oils.
Their facilities for haCdling this class of
goods in this city cannot be exceled. They
have large warehouses and wharf on River
street, where their goods are brought by
the cargo direct from their refineries in New
York, and they have the largest oil
and grease mandatory in the south;
these works are situated on East Broad
street, and, with their company's ware
houses, which are located on the Georgia
Central, and their mandatory and ware
houses located en- the Savannah. Florida and
Western railroad, they have facilities for
shipping goods to any point in the south at
a minimum cost for handling charges.
While this company handles every product
of petroleum, we will only mention few of
their distinctly celebrated brands. Their
Valvine cylinder oil is the finest amber
colored lubricant for cylinders manufact-
ured. Mogul cylinder oil, for a heavy
bodied, dark lubricant, has no equal for use
in cylinders. Owners Of heavy machinery
will make no mistake in using either brand
of these Cylinder oils, and the saving in
wear of the machinery will amount to more
than the cost of the oil. Their Matchless
and Polar Engiue oils and electric dynamo
cannot be excelled as lubricant for bearings
on heavy and fast running machinery.
You soon discover great saving through the
use of these oils. Their Guardian oil is the
safest and purest high grade burning oil
made; In the markets where it is known it
has no competitor. Housekeepers should
call on their dealer for this brand Of oil and
see that they get it. IL is absolutely free
from foreign matter and can be burned all
night in sick room without the faintest
odor from lamp. Safety guaranteed by
the use of Guardian oil was demonstrated in
the earthquake of 1886, when large lamp,
holding fully gallon OF this oil, was thrown
on the floor and broken. This happened Ia
the MORNING News building, and the oil
Quenched the fame and thus saved this
magnificent building. Those doubling this
statement we refer to the MORNING NEWS
Shipping facilities: This company has
branch offices in Charleston, 8. c., Atlanta
and Augusta. Ga, at which points they
carry full stock of goods. In addition TO
their oil business they are the largest manu-
faoturers Of turpentipe and cotton-seed oil
barrels in the south, and their cooperage
is well known to the trade, and anything
we can say in its praise would be superfiuous.
