WISH I COULD HELP, KMANN. I'D LIKE TO DO "INVADER" BUT THERE IS "0" INFO OUT THERE ON THIS COMPANY. THEN AGAIN, LET'S REMEMBER THAT I'VE ALREADY DONE KENDALL, TEXACO AND QUAKER STATE!

INVADER WOULD BE EASY IF I ONLY HAD THE INFO.

C'MON OLDGASSERS, LET'S BE PROUD OF OUR OIL COMPANY HISTORIES. THERE ARE PLENTY COMPANIES STILL TO BE DONE!

...SO GET~R~DONE!

~DOC

kmann sent you an email!

I don't think a detailed history of a company is necessary to do COTM. If there is not much known about a company put it out there anyway and maybe something will surface from someone elses collection. Just get it started and lets see if the members have something from that company to share.

What about doing a company of the month on small marketers from each (or select) states. I know I have several items from several small Colorado oil companies I would like to share but these companies were too small to justify their own COTM. But as a group a Oriental, Fargo, Cliff Brice, Autolene, Summit, Sommers, Gem, Speedway, Motoroyal, Bay (I'm sure I'm missing a few but you get the point) COTM might be interesting. Just throwing it out there. Any input?

i hear ya doc... felt the same way when i did OILZUM. not too much info out there and alot of contradiction. but... i just sorted it out the best i could to make it 99% accurate. want to thank you for your previously posted threads on COTM ...

rarin'.... I LIKE IT... a "group" of the smaller companys would be fine. pick a state and get it on.

chuck

hey.... i may be wrong but i don't think SUNOCO has been done yet. now come on... SUNOCO got to be big. might give "outboard" a run for the money !!!!!!!!!

"DREAMER!"





~DOC

OMG!!!! What has this come to? I'm with Chris on this one. Thats what scares me. I've got a thing or two from Far-Go, so if somebody will host a Colorado state oil company thing, I'm in.

Welcome to the dark side Thunder!
I think us Colorado guys could do something good. I 'll host it if you guys will help.

I had a lot of fun doing research on Atlantic (the Eastern part of Arco) I tried to look up something about billups (a SE company) I could only find that it was started by two brothers from Mississippi anyone know any more? I start on something for this summer. Let you know kaman

o.k..... serious for one second..... the colorado gang will do the gig in february. sunoco still up in the air... i think... i don't see a positive committment yet. we got a problem for january !!. if i was thinking clearly i would have had a back up company done for just such emergencies but i don't. soooooooo.... with the holidays and all going on we can extend ATLANTIC or if someone wants to throw something out there, please let me know.

chuck

Ok Doc.... It looks like you're carrying all of New York, with K Mann flying your wing. How come nobody else has jumped in? SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP..... Before Kmann starts begging!!!!!!

According to 2006 US Census Bureau stats NY has a pop. of 19,306,183 or 6.36% of the US population. Colorado comes in with a pop. of 4,753,377 or 1.56% of the estimated US population.

So if the score is:
NY = 6
CO=5

Per capita CO has smoked NY!!!
How has CA done with 12%?
And how about TX with a surprising (at least to me) 7.74%?

Come on guys! Let's keep COTM alive! I don't usually have anything to add but I enjoy looking at the COTM posts.

If someone out there has some knowledge of a company but needs help with getting pictures up or something like that I'm sure we can help you with it.
