Plants covering approximately four acres are now 
operated at Pittsburgh and New Kensington, where the 
nationally known and advertised Dutch Boy White Lead 
and Oxides are produced. The Company has a capacity for 
producing annually 7000 tons Dutch Boy White Lead, 10,000 
tons of Oxides (Litharge and Red Lead), 2000 tons of Lead 
Pipe, 1500 tons of Sheet Lead, and 2000 tons of solders and 
babbitts, practically all of which is marketed in Pennsyl- 
vania, west of the Susquehanna River, Eastern Ohio and 
small northern portions of the States of Mayland and West 
Virginia; all being distributed through the Pittsburgh office. 
Pursuant to the thought of guaranteeing the absolute 
purity of the products, only virgin metals are purchased to 
go into the manufacture of same; the bulk of the pig lead 
used coming from the west out of the mines of the National 
Lead Company, of whom this company is a subsidiary. 
With regard to the matter of health and welfare of the 
employees, it is considered of vital importance to the com- 
pany. Therefore a physician makes weekly examinations 
and a welfare room is maintained, each employee beiug re- 
quired to use the facilities for bathing regularly. A res- 
taurant is also provided where the employees are encouraged 
to dine; lunches being furnished at cost of food only.

beck, secretary. The foregoing are directors, together with

OIL WELL SUPPLY COMPANY 
In 1862, just three years after the Drake well was drilled. 
John Eaton, a native of New York State, came into Penn- 
sylvania, to look into the prospects of the oil trade. His 
inspection inspired him with a bright vision of the future. 
Believing that “Seneca oil” meant much more to humanity 
than its curative properties, which was what it had been 
used for when collected laboriously from the surface of Oil 
Creek, he decided that here was opportunity—to supply 
drillers with better tools and to make oil field supplies readily 
available.
