THEMA	Beschreibung
TEXT	The gigantic growth and present importance of the Oil Trade in Pennsylvania, and especially with reference to its bearing upon the business of Pittsburgh, may be perhaps somewhat illustrated by a brief account of the operations of the Central Refining Company, which was incorporated in 1873, the officers being W. M. McKelvey, President, Wm. Frew, Esq., Vice President, and F. J. Gillespie, Secretary and Treasurer, the capital stock being 255,300. The property of the Company consists of one Refinery and Barrel Factory at Kennedy's Station on the West Pennsylvania Railroad, and one Refinery at Sharpsburg, on the same road, eighteen buildings, substantially constructed, forty tanks, two steam engines, fourteen steam pumps, with other machinery, together with all the modern apparatus of the barrel factory, covering in allnearly fifty acres. Here are employed about 350 hands in the various departments, requiring a monthly disbursement of 12.000 and producing 40.000 barrels of Refined Oil per month, all of which finds its way to European and other foreign markets.
