After the death of Mr. Ball in 1974, Harold purchased the company and served as Chief Executive Officer and President for the next seventeen years. During this time the company expanded its operation purchasing several convenience stores throughout the area as well as transporting gasoline to various stores. Harold was later employed as a consultant for NESCO in Tulsa, continuing to work there until 2001. Harold was extremely active in the business of oil marketing. He served for two years, from 1984 -1986 on the Kerr McGee Advisory Council; was President of the Oklahoma Petroleum Marketers Association - Oklahoma Association of Convenience Stores (OPMA-OACS) in 1988.

JESS COX DEAD
End Comes to Well Known Citizen at Kendrick, Colo. --- Consumption Cause.
The angel of death is wandering throughout this land and is no respector of persons. He summoned the spirit of a well known citizen of this county, in a distant state, whose body was shipped to this city, where it arrived Monday noon and was conveyed to the home of his son Otis Cox, where it remained until about 1 p.m., when it was conveyed to the Corinth Church, 4 miles southwest of this city, where Revs. Charles Vanzandt and M.W. Coones conducted funeral services before a large assemblage of sorrowing relatives, neighbors and friends. After the services the remains were intered in the cemetery near the church. "Jess" Cox, as he was familiarly called by his many acquaintances, was born in Texas and when quite young his parents moved to near Elk Horn Tavern on Pea Ridge, Benton county, Ark., where he lived until arriving at manhood. When 22 years of age he and Miss Fanny Brant, of a well known and highly esteemed family of near this city, were married and for 36 years they had been companions in every sense of the word. Her afflictions for many years required his entire time and he was a devoted husband and would have made any sacrifice on earth to have her restored to health. He was conscious of the approach of death and made suggestions to his sons George, Harry and Roscoe who were with him at Kendrick, Colo., at their home where he died that they should remain with their mother and his brother Lee accompany his remains home for interment and his suggestions were carried out. He was 58 years old and died of consumption. Many years ago Hess was constable of Flat Creek township, and was nominated for county assessor by the democrats, but was defeated in the general election. He was a member of the Corinth Baptist Church. They were the parents of six children, five sons survive the father, they are: Roscoe, George and Harry of Kendrick, Colo., and Otis and Frank of and near this city. His many friends in this section regret his death and condole with his wife and sons. His unlimited devotion to his wife in her affliction had proven that his heart was in the right place.
