The Texas Oil Co., which has just
completed a large plant at Claymont,
expects to have some OF its boats here
two weeks hence. This statement was
made by representative Of the com
pany when the latter made a business
trip to the custom house in this city,
through which any foreign business
will have to be transacted 1t is the
purpose Of the company to bring crude
oil here from the Texas oil fields and
refine it. For the present the com
pany will confine itself TO domestic
trade but will probably engage in the
exporting business later.
The company has six boats, which
will be engaged regularly in connec-
tion with the local plant. The fleet
for this service comprises four steam
ships and two barges They will run
regularly between Wilmington and the
, oil-shipping ports Of Texas, where the
company has large interests.
The plant at Claymont, as it now
stands, consists Of three Of the largest
storage tanks in the East and one OF
! the finest piers on the Delaware River,
from which two boats can discharge
their cargoes at the same time II ls
! likely that another wharf will be
added when the company gets ready to
engage in the export trade. a refining
| plant will also be added.
The Texas oil differs from Pennsyl-
yania oil, in that the residuum from
the former is asphaltum, while that
from the latter is coal tar Both have
a commercial value, however, 50 that
nothing will be lost in the refining.
Refined oil is, Of course, more valuable
than crude oil, and as the residuun
can be sold 1T a good figure the com
pany will reap a double benefit from
the refining process, which, Of course
Is the result wherever oil IS refined oI
a large scale.
The company owns a large tract Q
land where tie plant is located an'
has enough room for extensive addi
tions If it is found necessary 70 erec
H more tanks. or have more buildings.
il This plant is the most southern on
az the oil concerns on the Delawar
River and the nearest one to Whining
ton. There has been talk Of som
others of the same kind in the imme
date neighborhood, but whether an
are contemplated at this time is no
, / known
