 Its an oil and gas additive company that's been around since the '50s. They
sponsored an Indy car and several unlimited hydroplanes in the 50s and 60s.
Although its been foreign-owned since the early 70s, their original 60-ft red
neon sign still blinks "Bardahl - Add It" / "Add it to Your Oil" over the
original headquarters in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood.
