OHIO CITIES GAS
COMPANY IS NOW THE
PURE OIL COM P A n \

Employees of The Ohio Cities Gas
Company in local territory have re-
ceived official notice that their com
pany's name has been changed to The
Pure Oil Company, and that the new
name would be effective today. The
change OF name will in no way ar
feet the charter of the company as
it will continue a corporation of the
state of Ohio.
The change. it is announced was
made to more clearly identity
the company's interests and ac'
voted to petroleum and petroleum pro-
ducts. This is one of the few instances
in business history of the last several
wears where a corporation as large
and widely known as The Ohio Cities
Gas Company has cast aside preceden
and changed its name.
The name chosen, however, is not
entirely new one. The Pure Oh
Company has been subsidiary OF
The Ohio Cities Gas Company since
1917. 1t was the first successful m
dependent company to maintain It's
independence in the face Of keen com
petition and when absorbed by The
Ohio Cities Gas Company was the
largest of the independent concerns.
A recent report shows The Pure
| Oil Company's assets aggregate more
than S13l, 100000 AS producers, re-
| finers transporters and marketers Of
| oil and oil products the company owns
and controls every phase Of petroleum
production from the well 10 the con
sumer The drilling operations of the
company at the present cover nine
states. 1t owns 1900 producing wells
thousands of miles of pipe lines, re
fineries using $4,000 barrels a day
1000 tank cars, storage and distribut
ing plants in A cities, "A drive-lr
filling stations, its own telegraph
lines and many fleets of motor trucks
The company at the present is plan
ming a large program of extension
to cope with the increased deman'
for gasoline and oil.
The Ardmore Refinery of this cit.
and the International Refinery a
Cushing, which were taken over b.
the Ohio Cities Gas Company som
time ago, will be known in future
the International Ardmore Refinin
Division of The Pure Oil Company, n
1t is the desire of the company
give these two growing oil towns
much publicity throughout the cour
try as possible.
