Rival.

Plttsburg, May 26.-All the indepen-
dent oil companies of the United
States were combined yesterday unde
the title of the Pure Oil Company,
with title of $40 0OO,O 900. A Pitts
burg man is the president of the bis
concern.
Included in the consolidation are tht
Producers and Refiners' Company, the
United States Pipe Line Company the
Producers Pipe Line Company, the
Continental Refining Company, Co
lumbia Oil Company, Germania Oil
Company. Emery Oil Company. Inde
pendent Refining Company. E. H. Jen
nlngs C Bros, Seneca Oil Works and
American Oil works.
The Consolidation lines made lega
by the filing of papers in the state de
partment at Trenton, N. j., increasing
the complete stock of the Pure Oil
Company from $1,OOO,OO0. The certifi-
cate is signed by J. w. Lee, of Pitts
burg. president and w. H. Dunsan
secretary. The Producers and Refin-
ers Company and Jennings Bros. have
their headquarters in Pittsburg.
E. H. Jennings, in an interview with
a reporter last night, said: "The FL
ing of the papers at Trenton today
means that the Pure Oil Company,
comparatively small corporation here
tofore, has been enlarged so as to takC
in all the big independent oil comp
anies OF this country. This includes
the pipe lines, producers and refiners
The increase of capital to S10,000,00C
means that the Consolidated Company
is going to spend large sums of money
in the building up of its business.
1T means further that we are going
to reach out for the business of the
world, The headquarters will be il
New York, but will have a big brancl
Office in Pittsburg. The officers anr
members of the board of directors will
be comprised largely of residents o.
this city. That is, think such will be
the case. but that Will have to be def
nitely settled by the election. On the
stockholders written consent docu-
ment filed with the other papers today
will be found the names OF many rep
resentative citizens of Pittsburg, Phil
adelphia, New York and elsewhere.
These names indicate how powerful
is the financial backing of the new in
dependent combine.
