Jennings-Heywood Oil Syndicate records, 1900-1970.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/262477690

Consists off correspondence, bills and receipts, and some miscellaneous information for the Jennings-Heywood Oil Syndicate of Jennings, La. The early correspondence deals with the involvement of the Heywood brothers and their associates in the oil industry in Louisiana. Beginning in 1928 the papers also concern the political activities of Walter Scott Heywood, his experience with raising sheep, and his involvement with the Independent Petroleum Association of America. From the 1940's until his death in 1950 the correspondence reflects W.S. Heywood's involvement with the Jefferson Davis Parish Rationing Board, the Louisiana State Mineral Board, and the Mermentau Basin Association. The financial documents are primarily bills and receipts for equipment and supplies used by the Jennings-Heywood Oil Syndicate and its related companies. The miscellaneous documents include the speeches of Walter Scott Heywood, his writings on the American Oil Industry and his AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF AN OIL MAN.
