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. The officers are: W. N. Taylor, president; W. H. Taylor, vice president; H. J. Irvin, treasurer, and J. W. Schlotter- beck, secretary. The foregoing are directors, together with E. J. Cornish and Norris B. Gregg, of New York. and Ed- ward F. Beale. of Philadelphia. 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.
