Part of a line of oil and lubrication products made in Canada by the McColl-Frontenac Oil Company Limited. Jon B.McColl was around for the very beginning of the oil boom in Ontario, Canada, They started producing lubricating oil in 1873 and grew as the railway business flourished in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The automotive and later aviation boom produced more opportunities and they merged with Frontenac Oil refineries in 1927. They caught the attention of the US based Texas oil company who bought enough shares in the 1930s to take over the company. The company name was changed to Teaco in 1959.
