First editions of these very scarce Standard Oil Company Indiana sales publications by one of the independent oil companies to emerge after the breakup of Standard Oil in 1911. Standard Oil Indiana pioneered the “cracking†process for refining crude oil under pressure resulting in far higher yields of gasoline and the many byproducts and by the mid-1920s was the third largest oil refiner in the U.S. behind Standard Oil New Jersey and Standard Oil California. This very scarce salesman’s advertising manual was created for distribution around the time that Standard Indiana had merged with the American Oil Co. Amoco and was looking to streamline both their purchasing and marketing pitches to service stations wholesalers and jobbers. The manual continually extolls the product diversity and reach of the Standard Indiana Company with Sinclair Dixie Pan-American Petroleum and Midwest Refining as subsidiaries the extensive fleet of oil tankers railroad tank cars and chain of service stations. The splendid sample catalogues encompass a range of styles and products including Red Crown gasoline featuring an Art Deco cover of a Standard Oil service station; the high octane Red crown Gasoline; Neolite kerosene for more efficiently and economically raising poultry; competing motor oils of Iso-Vis and Polarine designed for Ford engines; as well as Mica Axle Grease used to coat hog scratching poles; Merusol Petrolatum White petrolatum used as a non-stick coating for bakeries and with a number of “medical†applications as well or the KIP insecticide used for everything from ants and flies to bed bugs and mosquitoes. Also included are customer sales letters sample thank you letters sales goals tips and more. The second volume focuses on an extended article by MacMeekin on the Standard Indiana purchasing department which at the end of the 1920s was spending over $ 50 million a year on 14000 different items ranging from rare Asian flowers to wax from the head of whales pins by the ton locomotives and everything else to fuel the massive oil company.

1865List2532New York: Wm. A. Pond 1865. Folio 13 ½ x 10 ½ inches. Fine condition. Fine. An unusual use of sheet music as satire with the lithographed cover showing a fake stock certificate. The cover - engraved by Major & Knapp - advertises an ownership share in the Spondolix Petroleum company and states that F.B. Helmsmuller who was actually a noted composer was the “Treasurer and General Manager†of the company. This is a particularly fine example of the piece. In our research we found several references to this piece as being a real stock certificate for a real company however this is clearly a parody of the oil business. This was printed in 1865 when the Pennsylvania oil industry was booming and the engraved illustration appears to show a countryside scene in Pennsylvania or somewhere similar. Four copies in OCLC. Wm. A. Pond unknown

A seminal promotional piece by an American oil company offering a nascent map of the rich Spindletop drilling area in Southern Texas during it's proving and cash-raising stages. Published in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper in 1901 to encourage investors to "buy-in" to the excitement of the oil boom this enticing ad worked her wallet-opening charms well as the region ultimately became famous for both it's quality and quantity of sustained oil production.

It has been deacidified and linen backed with a few tiny archival repairs to top and left edges. A significant and early piece of Texas Petroliana. Daily Oklahoman unknown

21420Single-sheet double-sided folding nautical chart. Very Good. Cartography by General Drafting Co. New York. The boating map that sold Florida before Disney<br /> <br /> Large-format illustrated cruising chart produced by Standard Oil during the postwar leisure-boating boom covering the Intracoastal Waterway and Gulf Coast routes from Savannah through Florida to New Orleans. <br /> <br /> Designed as both a functional navigation aid and a promotional travel object the chart blends precise coastal cartography with pictorial lighthouse vignettes and regional landmarks making it equally appealing to navigators and collectors of mid-century American ephemera.<br /> <br /> Physical description: Single large double-sided printed sheet folded as issued multiple-color offset lithography on thin stock nautical soundings route lines compass roses lighthouse and harbor illustrations key map and legend panels Standard Oil branding and General Drafting imprint present approximate unfolded size large-format exact measurements to be supplied.<br /> <br /> Condition: Paper is clean and supple with light even age toning original folds intact minor handling wear at fold intersections no losses no tape repairs graphics remain sharp and legible throughout folds remain sound issued folding format restated.<br /> <br /> Scarcity note: Surviving examples are increasingly scarce in clean complete condition particularly double-sided sheets retaining strong color and intact folds most examples encountered show heavier fold wear or staining. The Southern Cruising Guide reflects the moment when recreational boating became accessible to middle-class Americans supported by improved waterways standardized navigation aids and the rise of automobile and petroleum-sponsored tourism. General Drafting's crisp cartography is softened by charming illustrative elements that turn functional navigation into visual storytelling. The chart reads as both a working tool and a piece of Americana merging maritime precision with aspirational travel culture.<br /> <br /> Historical significance<br /> Issued as part of Standard Oil's broader travel and mobility outreach the chart illustrates how petroleum companies positioned themselves as partners in leisure and exploration not merely fuel suppliers. It documents the growth of Florida and Gulf Coast boating infrastructure just prior to the massive postwar development boom making it a valuable artifact for maritime regional and advertising history.<br /> <br /> Subjects: Intracoastal Waterway Florida Gulf Coast Recreational boating history Maritime navigation Petroleum advertising Mid-century American design Maps and charts Printed ephemera Nautical material unknown
