This seems like a whale of a lot of business when you consider that back in 1910 (when we were 20 years old) we did an annual business of $12 million. 2« But back in 1910 there were only 468,500 cars in the U. S. and the average American used only one quart of petroleum products a day. Today there are over 44 million cars in the U. S. and the average American uses 1 9/10 gallons of petro leum products every day. 3* To supply this steadily increasing demand fo petroleum products, long-established companies had to expand and many new companies have entered the field. As a result, competition has in creased. In 1951 there were 414 times as many oil companies in the U. S. as there were in 1910 — all in competition for your business. 4. Today we are among the nation’s 100 largest corporations and are 20 times as big as we were in 1910. But here’s the important point: 42 years ago we did about 23% of the oil business in the 5 west ern states-our major marketing area. Today, in spite of our growth, we do only 13% of the oil business in the 5 western states! 5* In view of all this, it seems rather strange to hear so much talk about biyncss. Of course, indi vidual oil companies are bigger. They have to be bigger to serve the bigger need. Hut the vast ma jority aren’t as big in proportion to the total busi ness as they were 42 years ago. In fact, they are getting “smaller” all the lime. uivionr on compaiy OF eAIIIOBKIJI INCORPORATED IN CALIFORNIA, OCTOBER 17, 1*90 This series, sponsored by the people of Union Oil Company, is dedicated to a discussion of how and why American business functions.
