Frisbie, formerly traffic mana- ger of Armour and company and pres- ident of the Illinois Tunnel company, afterwards president of the Cornell Wood Products company and more recently an executive of the LaSalle Extenson university, has been elected to the presidency of the Commerce Pe- troleum company. Mr. Frisbie succeeds the late Mr. George F. Brigham of Tulsa, Oklahoma. He is well known to many local residents. The Commerce Petroleum company is one of the largest distributors of burning oils in Chicago and has stor- age and distributing facilities at five different locations in the metropolitan area. The company was organized in 1918 by Henry H. Brigham of Glencoe, president of the North American Car corporation, and his brother, George F. Brigham of Tulsa. It is interesting to note that Mr. Frisbie and Henry H. Brigham were many years ago associates in the Transportation department of Armour and company. With Mr. Frisbie's election, it is an- ticipated an enlarged program will be undertaken in the burning oil, lubri- cating oil and gasoline divisions of the company's business. Ralph Heineman Wins N.
