Add a reminder of Oklahoma's petroleum past to your desk with this Anderson-Prichard Oil Mouse Pad. The company began operating in Oklahoma City in 1919 and developed through a series of ventures, refinery ties, and changing brand names. Collectors may know its APCO, Challenge Gasoline, Defiance Oil, and Kan-O-Tex connections, each marking a different part of its public history. From a regional oil business to its 1955 Fortune 500 appearance, Anderson-Prichard offers a distinctive subject for workspaces shaped by industry and brand nostalgia.
Anderson-Prichard Oil Corporation began operating in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, in 1919, founded by J. Steve Anderson and Lev H. Prichard Sr. The partnership was incorporated in Delaware on June 30, 1922, and separately organized in Oklahoma that June. Its earlier business history included Caddo Petroleum Company, organized by Prichard and partners in 1918, and Anderson-Prichard & Co., incorporated in Delaware in 1920. Both ventures closed or were liquidated after financial and operating difficulties. In 1922, Anderson and Prichard formed Apco Refining Company around the Cyril refinery; its stock was sold to the Anderson-Prichard Oil Corporation in February 1923. The company used several names, including Challenge Gasoline and Defiance Oil, before expanding its APCO branding after a 1954 agreement with American Oil Company set geographic and design limits. It acquired the Kan-O-Tex gasoline brand and reporting mark in October 1953. Prichard bought out Anderson in 1947 and died in 1949. By 1955, the company appeared on the Fortune 500. In 1960, most assets were sold to four investor groups; marketing and distribution units became a new Delaware company, APCO Oil Corporation.
