Ever
wonder who runs
the 4
oil companies?
1* If you ask the average American to tell you
who runs this country, he’ll answer that the
people do. He may qualify that some by admitting
that the President, the Congress and the other
officials in Washington make the day-to-day deci
sions. But he knows that in the final analysis it is
the people’s vote and the people’s opinion that
really determine how our country shall be run.
2. Ask the average American to tell you who
runs American business and 9 times out of 10 he’ll
tell you it’s “management” or “Wall Street” or
“Big Business.” Actually, the American people
have far more voice in the conduct of American
business than they have in the conduct of Ameri
can government. Because they cast thousands
of times as many personal votes on it each year!
4. The combined total of these “votes” by the
people in this country determines Union’s entire
course of action—whether it shall be big or
small, whether it shall expand its drilling opera
tions or curtail them, whether it must raise its
prices or lower them, whether it shall succeed
or fail.
5* When you realize that this voting on Union
Oil Company policy (and the policies of all Ameri
can business) is going on constantly 24 hours a day
—the “ayes” with a resounding ring of the cash
register, the “nays” with an equally resounding
silence —you begin to understand that the person
who actually runs American business is you, the
American customer. Furthermore, you “vote”
thousands of .times oftener each year on the con
duct of American business than on the conduct
of the world’s most democratic government.
i
3* For example, every time an American in our
marketing territory buys 5 gallons of gasoline he
casts a “vote” for or against Union Oil Company,
its products or its services. During the course of
each week, practically every one of the 5-million
odd car owners in our territory “votes” at least
once on this issue. At the same time, several mil
lion more “votes” are being cast that week on the
hundreds of other products we make.
