CONGRATULATIONS !

George Taylor Chairman/CEO of Taylor Oil Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Rick Workman as President of Taylor Oil Co. and all of its subsidiary companies. Rick started as a Salesmen in 1986, received his MBA from Rutgers University in 1990, and over the past five years has successfully filled the position of Vice President of Taylor Oil Company. We are proud of his dedication and accomplishments, and we look forward to his continued commitment towards growth for our company.

Dave Taylor will move to Senior Vice President of Environmental Affairs. Frankie Spalding will become Secretary/Treasurer, as well as, Human Resources Director for New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. They will continue to report directly to the Chairman.

In September, Eric Hoffmann was promoted to Operations Manager of the Somerville, New Jersey office. He will be taking over for Frank Bloom who will be focusing on growing our business in his capacity as Sales Manager. We are making this move to re-focus our attention on customer service. Our recent growth has made it impossible for one person to handle both the Sales and Operations Department. We look forward to both Frank and Eric's efforts and contributions within each of their areas.

NEW OFFICES

Tremendous growth has been the key to Taylor Oil Company's success in the past, and will continue to be our goal for the future. We are happy to announce the recent opening of 2 new offices in the South. As a result of the recent growth and success of our Orlando Florida operation, this past Spring Taylor Petroleum Co., Inc. opened a new office to service the Miami area. In addition, Taylor Petroleum of Georgia, Inc. opened their Atlanta office over the Summer. With this acquisition of Bowles Oil Company, previously owned and operated by Mr. Elbert Bowles, we now have the pleasure and advantage of having Adam Bowles join our winning team.

POPLAR ISLAND PROJECT

Taylor Oil Company has been selected by Kiewitt Construction of Baltimore, Maryland to construct a 100,000 gallon tank farm for the Poplar Island Environmental Restoration Project. The state of the art tank farm, designed by Taylor Oil, is a Coast Guard Certified Marine Terminal and will receive barge shipments of diesel fuel to support the construction effort.

The Poplar Island Restoration Environmental Project is a 45 Million dollar construction contract awarded to Kiewitt Construction by the United States Army Corp. of Engineers. The contract includes installation of 35,000 feet of containment dike that will hold 20 million cubic yards of dredged material. Taylor Oil is proud to be a part of this venture, which, once completed will greatly enhance the overall health of the Chesapeake Bay by increasing natural habitats.
