Forbes, a business magazine, has concentrated its July 1 issue on the oil industry's present state of fundamental change. In the editorial, the issue is discussed in relation to the early history and coming Centennial of Oil in Titusville. Colonel Drake spent $3,000 before striking oil while today a dry hole can cost as much as $5 million. The well was called "Drake's Folly." Now, one out of every five dollars invested in equity issues on the nation's stock exchanges is in oil stocks.

The editorial concludes "in the midst of its very real problems, the oil industry itself can take heart in the fact that, like Titusville, it has survived one century of growth and can face the second with confidence." The New York State Pharmacist's article in the June issue dwelt on pharmacy's role in the early oil industry. One of Drake's first customers was Dr. Samuel REAL LIVE Indians Grants Wednesday, July 8.

This, however, was not nearly large enough a market for Drake. In 1860 he met George M. Mowbray, a chemist for the wholesale drug firm of Schieffelin Brothers and CompSny of New York City. Drake agreed to ship all the oil not already committed to existing customers to Schieffelin, who would sell the oil for a seven and one-half cent commission. The contract was for five years.

Ic 1880 Schieffelin employed Drake, who was then only a justice of the peace in Titusville, as its oil purchasing agent for approximately $3,000 a year.
