HISTORY OF COAL
OIL INDUSTRY

Petroleum oil. discovered
in the Allegheny mountains
in the early part of the CEN
tury, became a commercial
product with the perfecting Of
refining processes in 1854 to
1860. A great rush to the
Pennsylvania country fol-
lowed. similar to the Caiifor-
mia gold field rush of 1S49.
The Lima fields in Ohio
and Indiana were discovered
in 1885, and the Beaumont,
Tex, fields in 1901. Both be-
came very important in the
development of the oil busi~
ness.
From small beginnings, the
oil industry has grown to
mammoth proportions and
formed the basis for the great
producing, refining and sell
ing company in the world,
the Standard Oil Co., which
became dominant In the in
dustry in the early sos.
Outside United States the
greatest oil fields are in
Baku, Russia. and in Galatia,
Roumania. Great fields have
been discovered in Mexico,
which 1t is predicted will see
a yield of 100000 barrels a
day within the next Is
months.
