I've never heard of it either David, evidently it was bought out by Golden Fleece in 1954:
Purr Pull was a brand marketed by Independent Oil Industries of Sydney they also sold Purr Star and Resis Oil. The company was brought out by Smith Wylie (Aust) Pty Ltd in Queensland who ran the company as Purr Pull Industries and then in 1954 H.C. Sleight took over Purr Pull Industries Pty Ltd. dropping the Purr Pull and Star brands and selling it as Golden Fleece.
