statistics of petroleum refining I'm the
United states in 1909 are presented in
detail in a bulletin soon to be issued
by Director Harris, OF the Bureau of
the Census Department Of Commerce.
1t was prepared under the supervision
Of W. NJ. Steuart, chief statistican for
manufactures.
This industry includes only such os-
Establishments as are engaged primarily
I'm the refining of crude petroleum by
distillation. Establishments which
purchase refined or partly refined pc
petroleum WAS utilized commercially in
with vegetable animal or mineral
oils or other substances, in order to
produce n special composition are
therefore, excluded. Although crude
petrileum was utilized commercially in
the United States prior to 1879. the
statistics for the petroleum refining
industry given in the census reports
prior to that time are not comparable
with those for the later censuses. In
1859, rs establishments were reported
with products valued at $6.397,6SO
and in 1869, 40 establishments re-
ported products valued at $26.9422S7
