In 1929, when the United States was just beginning to enter the era of the Great Depression, Joe H. Glenn, Jr. and Bert L. Bennett, Sr., were beginning an era of their own. These two men shared very little in common, other than the fact that they both had a dream of owning an oil distributorship. This dream seemed unrealistic in the economic conditions that were present in 1929, but Joe Glenn and Bert Bennett, Sr. would not stop dreaming and looked beyond adversity to opportunity to make this dream come true. Quality Oil Company was organized in December 1929. Initially, the Company had been created to launch a distributorship for the then unheard of, Shell Oil Company. This distributorship was originally owned by W. H. Leonard and an unknown partner. Joe Glenn and his uncle, Bert Bennett, Sr. bought the business in 1930. Although the partnership changed hands, the original name of the distributorship remained the same. W. H. Leonard went on to form his own oil company, Leonard Oil Company, which was purchased by Quality Oil Company sixty years later.
