I have a friend whose grandfather ran a White Eagle bulk plant in St. Francis, Kansas. She thinks the time period was around 1920-mid 1930's. Could someone either Email me or post here a brief history of the White Eagle company. And, on the long shot anyone has heard of a Ben Payne or the White Eagle bulk plant in St. Francis..that info would be great too...Thanks.

White Eagle was founded in 1916 by L.L.Marcell. It was named after the chief of the Ponca Indians, White Eagle. They had a refinery at Augusta Kansas, and Casper Wyoming (now owned by Sinclair/Little America)Augusta was sold and I believe shut down. White Eagle was purchased by SOCONY (Mobil) and gave them marketing outlets in 11 mid-western states. This little bit of information was from "SOCONY MOBIL, a brief history" published Mobil in the early sixtes. CRA ......

..Thanks for the information..I'll give it to my friend.
