Petroles d'Oklahoma, a French COM
pany with 100000 francs) pre-war
value) capital Some years later
the Pure Oil Company acquired and
now owns the controlling interest in
the Union des Petroles.
Here's something easy, If you can
guess the answer. This writer con-
fesses that he cannot Oktaha Oil
Fields, Ltd, chartered in England
in 1910 with 100 pounds capital, re-
ports rights in 5000 acres in the
Oktaha field of Oklahoma. The com
pany Is still active, being reported
by Skinner, of London, and by the
1924 Petroleum Register, where the
company's address is given as a
postoffice box in Tulsa
A Difference Of Opinion.
Here is another puzzler.
General Petroleum Company, Ltd,
a private English company of which
Secretary Of Commerce Herbert
Hoover formerly was a director, in
the 1924 Stock Exchange year book,
reports ownership of $8,119, 909
bonds and $29,615,S0O stock of the
General Petroleum Company of
| !
according to American records, was
succeeded in 1916 by the General
Petroleum Corporation, with $49,.
912 200 authorized capital stock and
$50 ,285,1S8 assets reported in 1928.
1t is rated here as purely Ameri'
can company. Evidently there is
conflict of opinion somewhere
between the British and American
rating companies. A little mystery
adds to the spice Of life, so let's
leave it at that until someone in
authority insists on disillusioning
us with some absurdly simple solu-
ton.
AS might be expected, our
Canadian neighbors have not ig
nored our open door. At least eight
Canadian companies, with capital
ranging down from $50,000,000. are
interested one way and another In
the American petroleum industry
French interests are represented
besides the Union des Petroles, by
the Franco British Oil Trust, Ltd.
with 100000 pounds capital and
$500 acres in Texas, and by the
Societe Generate de Petrole Ameri
caine. with 100000 pounds capital
and the control of two Maine com
panies operating in Wyoming.
Other Phases.
The recital could be continued in
definitely, but 1t seems that a fair
birdseye view of the situation re-
garding operations within the
boundaries of the United States
has been afforded.
There remain : yet for considera
ton the foreign purchasing and dis
tributing companies, buying here
In the open market or under con
tract from American producers and
shipping their purchases abroad
and the alien companies which op
crate In other foreign countries
through controlled American cor.
porations.
