operation. About 1902 “Waverly Special” became the first light colored and light bodied automobile oil, while all other brands then on the market were heavy, dark-red oils—par- affine or Texas products. In 1897 leading steel car builders refused to design a Waverly all-steel tank car, saying the demand for tank cars would never amount to enough to make it worth their while; but in 1902 the same builders turned out for the Waverly the first 12,500-gallon all steel tank ever built. During 1919-20 there was erected a large modern plant for the manufacture of grease, soap and soluble oils, having a daily capacity of 300 barrels. This plant is housed in a large 7-story and basement reinforced concrete building, especially designed for the purpose, with about 50,000 square feet of floor space, fully equipped with steam and fire kettles of various sizes, automatic weighing tanks, barrel and package elevator, and with storage tanks in the basement for fats and oils of 200,000 gallons capacity. In 1920 there was erected at Carteret, N. J., on New York bay, in association with several other refiners, a waterfront plant for barrelling and casing Waverly products for the export trade. Bulk shipments are made to this plant, where large stocks are carried ready for immediate barrelling or casing, and direct lighterage to vessels in the harbor. The Waverly petroleum products are refined from pure “All Pennsylvania” crude oil, while compound oils and grease products are all made from Pennsylvania crude and the purest of animal and vegetable fats. They are sold all over the world, including besides the largest commercial countries, China and Manchuria, Japan and India. Officers of the Waverly Oil Works Company are: D. E. Weir, president; Harry H. Willock, secretary and treasurer; Geo. J. Willock, asst. secretary and treasurer. Directors: above and J. O. Miller.
