In oil since the opening OF the famous
Beaumont field eight years ago.
Much of the interest aroused over
the Texas comranys plans very nat

point radiates in general directions
The company has invested IN and
near Dallas In the last two or three
years in pipe line. storage and distri
butlng facilities close to $2,00O,000
The headquarters of the company un.
til few months ago Nas located
here and taen moved TO Houston.
About thirty years ago. when pub
