Drake drilled his first oil well on Oil Creek, near Titusville, Penn. Theodore N. Barnsdall worked on his first oil well in the year 1867, and continuously since that time the Barnsdall interests have been active in the production of oil and gas in nearly all the fields in the United States and Canada. Mr. Barnsdall moved his General Offices from Bradford, Pa. to Pittsburgh, Pa. about 1900, although he had conducted a large amount of his business in Pittsburgh previous to that date, and from that time until his death in 1917 he was one of the most important factors in the development and oper- ation of the oil and gas business. A large number of the most successful of the Natural Gas Companies in business to-day were organized by Mr. Barnsdall in Pittsburgh. Barnsdall Corporation was incorporated in 1916 under the name of Pittsburgh Investment Company, the title being changed to Barnsdall Corporation in 1919, at which time a number of other Barnsdall Companies were consolidated and merged. This resulted in the consolidation under the name of Barnsdall Corporation of all the properties theretofore owned and operated by Theodore N. Barnsdall during his lifetime through the various subsidiary companies organized 3y him. The Corporation, through its subsidiaries, is engaged in producing, refining and distributing petroleum and its pro- ducts; the production and distribution of natural gas; also is engaged in the mining of silver, lead, zinc and tripoli, and >wns valuable gold and copper mines not being operated at dresent. The Corporation has about twelve hundred employees. The most important of the subsidiaries are the following Companies: 0 nN ~ > B A) 2 3 om wm > [0] 0) © x£ ‘a
