HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH SHIPIU OF OIL EACH WORKING MY Atlantic Refining Company Said to Be Largest Producer of Lubricant in World While Pennsylvania has long en joyed distinction as one of the prin cipal oil producing States of America, it is doubtful If the real Importance of the city of Philadelphia as a re fining center. Is or has ever been more than partially recognized. The state ment that she is to-day the largest producer of lubricating 1 oils In the world, will, therefore, cause some sur prise, as will the knowledge that a good-sized shipload of petroleum products Is dispatched from her wharves every working day through out the year, to say nothing of the j great quantities of oils and greases regularly consumed by her own Indus ties or transported elsew-here by rail and by motor truck. Obviously, the mere mention of I these facts will instantly suggest to | the mind of the reader the Atlantic | Refining Company, once a subsidiary | of the Standard Oil Company but now ! an Independent producer, operated j and controlled by its own executives. j And It is with this great concern, j which also operates refineries at Pitts- i burgh and at Franklin, Pa., that this [ narrative has to do. 1 ts* vastness as j well as its systematic methods of do- i ing business will prove of Interest to ' the public generally, while its activi ties in the production of "Atlantic Oasoline" and "Polarine Oil" will be more or less eagerly followed by auto mobilists In particular. Founded in ISftC Founded as long ago as 1866. this big concern, then known as the Atlan tic Petroleum Storage Company, was subsequently absorbed by the so-called | oil trust and continued to do business | under its direction until a few years j ago. when the courts ordered a sepa ration of this and other subsidiary concerns from the parent organization. To-day its Philadelphia plant extends over an area of no less than 750 acres of land, stretching along nearly two ; miles of river front on both sides of ! the Schuylkill below Passyunk avenue. { Approximately three thousand names I are enrolled on its list of employes, ' while its payments to the wage-earners i of Philadelphia alone aggregate $ 1.- 600.000 annually. While the Atlantic company, as has ben stated. Is a large producer, it is correspondingly a large consumer of varying lines of merchan dise. and among other things pur chases an average of 380.000 tons of coal per year from the Pennsylvania coal fields. The big refinery, in which every thing is highly systematized, operates about six miles fo railway lines, ex tending over its ground and used for the transportation of materials from one plant to another. Its supply of crude oil emanates from virtually every oil-producing section of the country, from the oil wells of western Pennsylvania to those of Oklahoma, and is transported to the Atlantic company's huge tanks by means of numerous underground pipe lines. While "Polarine" oils are to be had wherever automobiles are in use, the Atlantic Refining Company disposes of most of its product throughout the States of Pennsylvania and Delaware, both of which are honeycombed with its distributing stations and motor truck delivery systems. Hanging upon the walls of several of the company's | executive offices are huge ma.ps of these two States, each divided and subdivided by accurately drawn lines, stars and other markings, indicating the location of the company's dis tributing points and the routes of something like 125 tnoto trucks, one of the most comprehensive tleets ever In stalled by an American enterprise. These trucks are supplemented by I numerous horse-drawn vehicles used j for short hauls. It is said that there | is no road of importance nor town of i any size in either of the States men { tioned which is not regularly traversed I by the Atlantic company's vehicles at | least twice a week. Besides this, the j company owns and operates a number I of barges. tugboats and other types ot j ) rlveccraft. 17.000.000 Gallons a Year An official of the company is the au thority for the statement that during the year 1914, the Atlantic Refining] Company produced and disposed or over 47.000,000 gallons of gasoline in the States of Pennsylvania and Dela ware alone. The significance of this statement can better be appreciated Iwhen it is explained that this enor mous quantity of oil fuel would be sufficient to propel a small automobile 43,240 times around the circumference of the earth, or 4.340 trips from the ! earth to the moon. I It must be acknowledged that Phila | delphia has just cause for civic pride, ;ind the State of Pennsylvania a sense of gratification, over the increasing prominence which the port of Phila delphia has taken in respect to export! shipments. The Atlantic Refining Company's diversified products of pe- I troleum constitute over 22 per cent, oi i nearly a quarter of this increasingly j important fort's export clearances. Immensity, of volume has never i overshadowed perfection in product j with this company, however, in its consistent and rapid progress. "Quai- i ity First" with them is not only an ! ideal, but an actuality. The attain- i mont of this successful struggle for ! perfection is evidenced by the recent j announcement of the Winton .Motor i Car Company, of Cleveland, to the ef- s feci that in their Winton "6" repair! expense contest for 1914. John Grau. < of Pittsburgh, who won last year's ' contest, was returned the winner of the first prize of SI,OOO, having driven I his Winton "6" car over 24,000 miles ' I with no repair expense, to which sig- ; | nificant testimonial Mr. Grna adds in ! . detail that his successful driving was; secured when using solely the Atlantic ; Refining Company's gasoline, Polarine oil, and Polarin# greases, clearly stat : ing that he attributed his success in winning the contest to the assistance i contributed by this motor fuel and ; these lubricants of qualitv __ Automobile Notes of Local Interest 1 The lirst Hollier Eight to reach this | city has been entered in the Harris burg Motor t'lub Publicity Run. j J. K. l-'orney of Franklin countv has •spent several days this week in Har-' ' risburg closing agency for the new Hollier Eight and Republic truck. The Crispen Motor Car company have received regular shipments of the Cadillac and are being delivered as last as received. Mr. Crispen reports the popularity of the eight increasing ! every day, and says that even though the supply is keeping pace with the de mand at present, the Indications are j that a number of prospects will be .disappointed as the season advances because of the increasing demand that threatens to exceed even the recently j enlarged capacity of the factory. The Riverside Auto company re ceived another shipment of Paige Sixes this week; and George R. Bent ley reports an encouraging outlook for a prosperous season. George K. Conrad, assistant mana ger of the Winton Philadelphia branch, is here for o few days assisting C. E. Kllnger in demonstrating the new Winton light Six to a number of local prospects. REGISTFMTION IS JUMPING RAPIDLY Total of Cars Licensed For 1914 Will Soon Be Exceeded by the List For 1915 Registration of automobiles at the State Highway Department does not indicate that there Is any depression in tht business and it Is the belief that the total number of licenses issued for 1914 will be passed by the mid dle of May. Already the total of the revenue from licenses for 1914 has been exceeded. The total number of machines of all grades registered last year was 112.- 853. Thus far in 1915. 104,281 luivo been listed and given tags, although four months have not been passed. I There have been licensed 98.025 pneu ! matte tired automobiles; 6,256 trucks ' or solid tired machines; 10,007 motor cycles and 4,002 for dealers. Paid drivers to the number of 22.480 have been granted licenses and 22,181 op erators other than owners have been listed and given official cards. There is now pending in the Legisla ture a bill to turn all of the revenue from licenses for automobiles back to the Highway Department for highway improvement purposes, this precaution being taken because of the case pend ing in the Supreme t'ourt. This sum is the amount contributed by automo bile owners and it is estimated that over a million and a half will be avail able under the present net. If the new law proposed and provided in the Lipschutz bill is enacted It will mean next year the State will have over $2,- 250.000. The highway repair work now being carried on is through the money paid in by automobile owners, it being held in a separate fund at the State Treas ury. Mister Squeegee Helps Pennsylvania Suffragettes "Mister Squeegee." the quaint l ;uro used in Diamond tire advertising, lias joined the ranks of the equal suf fragists. Mrs. Anne Davis Chisholm is vice chairman of the Equal Suffrage Asso ciation. of Huntingdon, Pa. Recently Mrs. Chisholm clipped from a Hunting don newspaper advertisement, a picture of Mister Squeegee, which yas pasted upon a piece of yellow paper—yellow* being the equal suffrage color—and be side it the lady wrote their declaration of principles: "Tx»t 'em vote. "I've got my umbrella, so it can't hurt me. "If they help make— "Better Roads. "Retter Schools, "Hetter Laws, "Retter Food, "Retter Homes— "l/et 'em vote. "It may help me." The picture and Mrs. Chlsholm's com ments attracted a (treat deal of atten tion. and arji reported to have caused a number of Huntingdon men who for merly .opposed equal suffrage to decide that there may be something in it. aftrr all." When the Diamond tire officials at Akron, heard of Mrs. Chlsholm's clever plan to bring the men over to her sup port. they decided to furnish her with a big poster, showing "Mister Squeegee" seated upon a Diamond tire, with his umbrella hoisted. She was given au thority to "work him for all he was worth" in the service of the cause that is dear to her heart. Straw votes taken within the past week or two at Huntingdon Indicate that the men of that city are exhibiting a lively interest in equal suffrage and Diamond tires.
