Pure Oil Company was an American petroleum company founded in 1914.
The Pure Oil Company operated retail service stations across the country. The company's first service station opened in Dayton, Ohio in 1918.
Its one-story English cottage style gas station building is typical of gas stations built in the 1930s in order to harmonize with their residential surroundings.
Pure Oil operated 16,000 service stations in the United States and in 1965 merged with the Union Oil Company of California.
Today, while the company is gone, many of their buildings still exist, have been updated and repurposed.
