Merchant's Gargling Oil was created by Dr. George Merchant of Lockport New York in 1833 according to an article written by Doug Farley director of the Erie Canal Discovery Center in 2008. Although it was called a 'gargling oil' it was primarily intended for external use as a liniment. The city of Lockport was located along the route of the Erie Canal and Merchant's liniment found a market with the canallers and their horses and mules. By the time John Hodge joined the company in the late 1850s it was a very successful enterprise. He was a master at marketing and advertising producing almanacs notebooks circulars and placing ads in numerous publications for his product. see a brief biography of the company in the Atwater catalogue Vol. 2 p. 48. <br/><br/> unknown books

1948183725London: Compiled in the Companies' Head Office 1948. An informative survey of the Middle East and its oil industry First edition of this excellent handbook for IPC employees outlining the operations and expanding importance of the petroleum industry and surveying the history and current condition of states in Arabia the Gulf and the Levant. Chapter 1 describes the IPC's formation the mechanisms for opening a new concession the history of its prospecting and extraction projects and the Mediterranean pipeline. A chapter on the culture of the Arab world is followed by regional breakdowns that draw on company and government reports. Concerning the Gulf the handbook emphasizes the potential of oil exploration to transform the region. In Qatar where an oil field was discovered in the late 1930s "the population is scanty and wretchedly poor. The Company's present operations supply almost the sole source of wealth. The building of necessary roads jetties dwellings offices workshops stores and the like has advanced simultaneously with drilling" pp. 15 & 69. Accompanying the text are valuable plates showing IPC operations in Kirkuk and near Tripoli views of Qatar and Bahrain from the air and a well with head fittings and flow lines. The folding regional map details oil fields refineries and pipelines both built and projected. A useful tabular appendix summarizes the present state of the IPC's concessions including the area they cover and the rights granted as well as current exploration licenses. Octavo.
