THE FASCINATING OIL BUSINESS by Max Ball

THE FASCINATING OIL BUSINESS

By

Pub Date: April 3rd, 1940
Publisher: Bobbs-Merrill

The facts behind oil -- one step up from a primer, for it is substantial and detailed, crammed with facts. Not a history -- nor yet a biography. But a functional book, a book that answers all the whats and whos of the discovery of oil, the digging, what to do when the oil comes in, and the methods of taking it from the wells and making it usable. Colloquial and informal, but pretty dull.
