Just wondering if anyone has items or knows anything about the history of heath oil company. I have a picture of their bulk plant with very early trucks. Would like to know more about the comapny. Any help would be much appreciated.

If you google heath oil company, you get 2 hits still in business in winchester tn and west virginia, I think. Primarily still bulk haulers, but they advertise they can meet any trucking needs. Don't know if this is one in the same,but thats what I got on a quick look.
Wonder if what you have is storage plant for bulk hauling company, know of several companys here that never produced there own brand of oil products but bought in bulk stored and resold plus delivered in smaller orders. Would think there is profit to be made if you buy large scale store and resell.
Maybe someone will chime in with more.

I saw in the right side of the picture there is a sign above the building mentioning CL and CR Heath. Did a quick Google search using that, and came up with the attached from the Binghamton Press, which I believe would be out of NY. The end of the article mentions that they were also selling gasoline out of Johnson City, which is not far from Binghamton.

If you take the address at the bottom of the photo, 200 Eldridge Ave, there is such an address in Johnson City.
