particularly interested: ~ Receipts

cludes the Quaker oil 4 Gas CO.,
which is the producing concern I'm
Oklahoma, and carries with it 1900
barrels daily production of good ok
lahoma oil
1t is with considerable satisfaction
that old timers, who helped build up
the Pure OIL company, the pioneer in
dependent pipe line In the United
States, will learn that it has gone ont
of business with flying colors and that
a fine profit will result to the stock
holders.
The Dohcrty people aut certainly
becoming very aggressive these days
I'D will likely extend the Pure oil
company's lines out to Oklahoma.
They have never been built farther
