"Lee" Folkins. The name "Eljay" was derived from the initials L. and J. Eljay Oil started in the farm communities of south Spokane County and soon moved into the Coeur d'Alene, Idaho area, serving the construction, farming, logging, and tourist businesses of Northern Kootenai County. In 1962, Spokane became our home base. Since the '50s, Eljay has enjoyed serving all classes of trade in the states of Washington and Idaho. Over the years, Lee Folkins has been joined by his three sons, Randy, Doug, and Jeff. The four co-owners have led Eljay Oil to become one of Chevron's outstanding award-winning jobbers.
