The capital of this concern is $600,000 and its property represents an investment of $1,500,000. A petroleum oil refinery in Pennsylvania today is very different from what it was 40 years ago, when the Waverly Oil Works was established. Pennsylvania was the only crude oil then known, while today many refineries run both Pennsylvania and western crudes, and some of them western crudes almost exclusively. Forty years ago the present day petroleum lubricants were largely unknown or just coming into use, and the only petroleum products then in common use were illuminating oil and benzine, which was mostly used in the manufacture of gas, together with very small amounts of cylinder stock, paraffine oil, black oil and paraffine wax. Tallow was still the popular lubricant for steam cylinders, lard and sperm oils were largely used for general lubrication, and fish oil was the only tempering oil. During all these years the “Waverly” has been in the vanguard of progress in the oil trade. Away back in the early seventies, S. M. Willock, who built the Waverly Oil Works in 1880, and who owned and operated it until his death in 1908, was engaged in jobbing oils, and brought to Pittsburgh by river steamer from Cincinnati, probably the first cotton- seed oil used for burning in coal mines, instead of lard oil. Very early in the 80’s “Mecca” cylinder oil appeared as among the very first cylinder oils having a fire test over 600 degrees. In the 90’s wet distillation was adopted exclusively and steam stills were erected. Probably the largest steam still ever built, with 1600 barrels charging capacity, is now in operation at the Waverly. In 1900 was erected a modern wax plant, together with filter and retort houses, which at that time were revolutionary in their design and method of QO on 3 N @ oo Ad 5 Vy — > 0 a © 3 o
