This Day in History...

Oil. Black gold. It can be nearly colorless or jet black (not to mention the many shades in between). It can be thinner than water or thicker than molasses. It can come in a form as light as gas or as heavy as asphalt. Much of the world's crude oil comes from wells drilled from underground or under the ocean floor. The most important primary fossil fuel, petroleum has been used for centuries, with the first wells known to have been drilled in 8th-century China. On this date, 150 years ago, Edwin Drake drilled the first successful US oil well, near Titusville, Pennsylvania.

"Formula for success: Rise early, work hard, strike oil." — Jean Paul Getty

This Day in History...

Radio broadcasting began at the beginning of the 20th century. Could commercials be far behind? On this date in 1922, WEAF broadcast the first radio commercial. It was a ten-minute live spot for the Queensboro real estate corporation, read by a representative of Queensboro. The commercial cost $100 for 10 minutes. The broadcasting world has never been the same. Now, radio advertising is done in 10-second to two-minute spots; prices vary according to the size of the expected audience and the time of day the ad will be presented.

"Seeing a murder on television can... help work off one's antagonisms. And if you haven't any antagonisms, the commercials will give you some." — Alfred Hitchcock
