Republic Oil Company. Pittsburg,PA.
They were bought out by Marathon.
Still curious as to:
any idea as to the ~ date of them?
were they a local company or a regional one?
when were they bought out?
thanks!

Edit: Found some info:
1901: Republic Oil formed to 'compete' with Standard by Standard stockholders, operating in secret. Galena-Signal Oil Company formed by merging of Galena Oil and Signal Oil. Kansas Oil & Gas Company absorbed the assets of Forest Oil. Later that same year Prairie Oil & Gas Company, another Standard company, absorbed Kansas Oil & Gas.
