ANDERSON-PRICHARD OIL CORPORATION

The Anderson-Prichard Oil Corporation was originally founded in 1919 in Oklahoma, and played a major role in the petroleum industry for over the next five decades. After successful initial discoveries in Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana, the firm grew rapidly, establishing a large facility in Cyril, Oklahoma. The company went public in 1947 and acquired Kanotex Refining in 1953. By 1955, the company was listed as a Fortune 500 company. In 1960, the company's assets were liquidated for $123.3 million. The assets were sold to four different entities, including Occidental and Seagram. One part which included Anderson-Prichard marketing and distribution units was incorporated in Delaware as a completely new company, named "APCO Oil Corporation". The family-owned company ended in 1960, and APCO was a completely different company.
