Operations of the Pure Oil Company now extend into 26 states besides Canada, Europe and South America. It owns 86 bulk distributing plants and nearly three hundred drive-in service stations. Its tank storage capacity aggregates ‘hirteen million barrels. The company controls 18.24 per cent of the entire output of Pennsylvania grade crude, which is considerably in excess of the amount controlled by any other refining company.

Company-owned rail- road tank cars totaling 2,661 in addition to 255 leased cars are engaged in the transportation of Pure Oil products. Operations are further facilitated by the ownership of three ocean tank steamers. These, which are engaged in coastwise and export trade, each have a capacity of 75,000 barrels.
