Based on what i've read, the Manhattan Oil company was based in St. Paul, MN, and sold out to Phillips in 1934. When I was at Iowa gas, a couple of people told me that they were a Kansas City based company. I don't think they're correct...could anyone back me up on that?

I didn't know that the Long Oil company had been Manhattan Oil at one point. I believe then, that the Manhattan Oil which created Trop-Artic oil is different, and that it is the company out of St. Paul.

Does anyone know if the St. Paul Manhattan would have then produced this map?
