Original oil and gas trade magazine vintage ad for INDEPENDENT EXPLORATION COMPANY. Main office was located at 1973 West Gray Street, Houston, TX. Pictured is Mr Lloyd M. Urban, Party Chief, graduate from Rice Institute. He began his practical field training as helper on a survey part, and has progressed with the company for 15 years through the jobs that provide the experience background necessary. This unique 1953 old oilfield petroleum industry magazine advertisement would display beautifully matted and framed. Nice graphics.
