Industrial Oils, Inc. had its beginning<br />
in 1967 in <strong>Midland</strong>, with owner<br />
Leroy Bell and three employees. From<br />
its very beginning, the business was<br />
run with one purpose in mind: to<br />
better serve the industrial areas of<br />
West Texas and New Mexico with the<br />
fuels and lubricants necessary to keep<br />
turning to the right.<br />
In 1972, Phillip Bell began to work<br />
with his father part-time, and in 1978,<br />
he came into the business full-time.<br />
The company has continued to<br />
thrive through booms and busts, by<br />
treating all its customers fairly and<br />
honestly, and by sticking to its specialty—industrial<br />
fuels and lubricants.<br />
