Progress Parade (1960)

News release reflecting innovations and happenings from the petroleum industry. Includes a sequence on “fishing” for a lost drill bit, soothing an infant with baby oil, how LP gas serves us in the home and on the job, how a “Citadel” service station operator serves his community, and a research program at Louisiana State University that investigates (and finds no) effects on oysters from nearby oil drilling.
