Standard’s income someiimes raises such comments as: "You people do a lot of business. You must be rolling in dough. How about answering this one—What do you do with all the money you maker' The answer is a matter of public record. But in brief—after we’ve paid for materials, wages, employee benefits, and miscellaneous expenses..;wear and tear on plants and equipment...interest on our long-term debts.. .and. in the last 5 years, more than $405,000,000 in taxes —then what’s left, the "money we make,” goes this way: We invest in research and technical service — more than $35,000,000 in the last 5 years—to develop better ways of finding oil, increasing the yield, cutting costs, creating new business. That brings you new and improved products, with prices held down as we com pete for your patronage. We put funds into facilities—in the last 5 years, more than $644, 000,000. The need for oil products keeps growing. Standard must replace old wells, increase crude oil production: add to the capacity of refineries, .I pipelines, tankers, and '' other things needed to serve you well. Exploration here and abroad has cost us more than $229,000,000 in the last 5 years. Known crude reserves are at an all-time high. Rut these deposits were the easiest to discover. Though the earth holds vast hidden reserves, it now costs many millions to find each new field. And finally,after setting aside funds for future operation, our more than 100.000 sharehold ers get what money remains— last year $2.60 a share, iheir return on savings invested in Standard. So almost all the "money we make" goes right hack into circulation. STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CAL5FORNIA • plans ahead to serve you better
