Chemical operations began at the site around 1917. Borne Chemical used the site for the processing and blending of various types of petroleum, dyes and chemical products. When oil prices skyrocketed in the 1970s, the company began to sell recycled motor oil and auto transmission fluid. But oil prices dropped in the 1980s so the company went bankrupt and abandoned the site. The property is now listed as a Superfund site which the City of Elizabeth hopes to redevelop it after the environmental cleanup.<br \/>\n<\/font><\/p>\n<div align=\"right\"><b><\/b><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.colorantshistory.org\/\" rel=\"external nofollow\">Robert Baptista<\/a> 2\/9\/2008<br \/>\n<\/b><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><font color=\"#808000\"> <\/font><b><\/b><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.colorantshistory.org\/\" rel=\"external nofollow\"><\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>CLICK ON COMMENTS TO READ MORE OF ROBERT&#8217;S INVESTIGATIVE DETAILS!<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<p align=\"justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mail Pouch Tobacco &#8211; Dover, NJ 1991 \u00a9 colorantshistory.org\/Robert Baptista Edgerton Photographer &#8211; Beaumont, TX 1994 \u00a9 colorantshistory.org\/Robert Baptista Intercoastal Mercantile Co. 1918 &#8211; Vinton, LA 1996 Russo Auto Wreckers- Elizabeth, NJ 1994 \u00a9 colorantshistory.org\/Robert Baptista Aroy Building 1930 &#8211; Pt.
