The complete history in detail can be found in a book about the company,

"The Cycles of Business and Family: The History of the Albina Fuel Company."

This history emphasizes the firm's initial 25 years in order to correct several misconceptions about its founding and early development. An emphasis on the early period also allows for a detailed view of Sam Arntson and his family and the factors that motivated their lives. Information for this history was derived from company, public, and family records, and from personal interviews. Undoubtedly, there are wonderful stories from the company's 104-year experience that remain untold. It is believed, however, that the players, places, and events, which best characterize the Albina Fuel Company's development are represented in the pages of this book.
