pp. xxv, 227. A condensed version of the two-volume 1904 first edition. "The Standard Oil Company was the first major industrial monopoly in the United States. But clouding this success was one important failure. John D. Rockefeller's great wealth and power did not protect him from defeat at the hands of the magazine journalist Ida Minerva tarbell. The forceful muckraker historian of the Standard Oil Company did more than single out Rockefeller as the architect and the driving force behind the trust. She offered the oil man as the symbol and the cause of all that she felt was wrong in the national life." - Introduction. Average wear. Binding intact. Moderate quantity of yellow high-lighting to contents. A sound copy of this fascinating history. Book

1955187022Teheran: Iranian Oil Exploration & Producing Company 1955. First edition of this rare internal report on Iranian oil production commissioned by the Iranian Oil Exploration & Producing Company and the Iranian Oil Refining Company 4 years after the nationalization. WorldCat lists only 3 institutional copies at Princeton Durham and Berlin. Established in 1951 and restructured in 1954 the National Iranian Oil Company owned the Iranian oil facilities collaborating with a consortium of foreign companies to sell on the international market. This report is a summary of the first year of the consortium's activities.

19014229N.p. 1901. About very good. 12pp. Original printed wrappers stapled. Minor edge wear. Light toning and dust soiling. Scarce promotional for this early 20th-century New Mexico oil venture. The text contains an amusing if dangerous sounding origin story for the company in which the founding officer ignites a brook covered in a "peculiar scum" and spooks his horse. The remainder of the text contains the usual inducements to invest including various descriptions statistics analyses and endorsements. The first commercial well in New Mexico was drilled in the early twenties and we find little additional information on the Eureka Oil Company. One other copy located at SMU. unknown
