Going to Beaumont

(Galveston Daily News, February 5, 1901)

Corsicana, Tex., Feb. 4--John B. Diffy, oil producer, loaded a rig today for shipment to Beaumont. John B. Davisson, also a producer, who was one of the first drillers in this field, will ship a rig to Beaumont tomorrow. Cutting the price of heavy oil in twain, as was reported in the News several days ago, has caused Corsicana drillers to go to the new field. (comp. by W. T. Block)
