I am not positive but if I remember right My great Uncle , who worked as an engineer for Texaco , said" they bought the Indian refining company to get the patent on removing paraffin from motor oil". He is still alive and if anyone really wants to know for sure I could call him and ask him again. One thing that happened on the farm back in the late forties or fifties was Texaco came out to the farm and filmed a movie.

I am sure my Uncle had a part in getting Texaco to use the family farm to film that movie. I wonder if That film could still be seen or if Texaco would still have the series they did back then.
