He was also associated with the first company to install electric light in the City of Toronto and other cities. Added to the above, he was one of the partners of Pugsley, Dingman & Co., in Toronto, the manufacturers of Comfort Soap. The factory was burned down in the disastrous Toronto fire, about the year 1900. The business, however, went on to oustanding success. Shortley after his arrival in the west, about 1902, he came to live in Calgary, and here organized the old Calgary Natural Gas Co. in 1905. This company drilled 2 wells, one in the Sarcee Indian Reserve in 1906. This well obtained no results and was abandoned at 3.400 feet. The second well, the Walker Well, started in August of 1908 and in May 1909 at 3,414 feet encountered gas estimated at 1,000 M.C.F. daily.

Dingman organized The Calgary Petroleum Products Co. in 1912. This company drilled the first producing well in Turner Valley, which started operations in January 1913. This first well struck commercial production in May, 1914, which was the beginning of the fantastic oil boom in 1914 in Calgary.

Mr. Dingman was still working up until about 2 weeks prior to his death at 85, and had 10 years work planned for the future. His slogan was alway "Carry on, we want and need more crude oil."
