A choice assortment of gift wrappings I I U OF 0 CO-OP STORE Wh really owns Standard? That dd bogeyman—the Tycoon of Big Business —seems still to linger in the minds of some people. Whether or not this was ever a true picture, it is certainly false today. Standard Oil Company of California, for instance, is widely held, independent. It has its own management and shareholders. It is not connected with any of the Standard companies in the East. The actual owners of Standard Oil Company of California now number 115,942—which is 17,000 more than just two years ago. They include 283 universities and other educational institutions; 236 churches and religious organizations; 1825 small and large businesses; 159 hospitals and other med ical groups; 10,876 employees of the Company, and 102,563 other individual citizens, few of whom could be called rich. The great number of our shareholders are people like your own friends and neighbors— yourself, perhaps—mechanics, clerks, farmers, white-collar men, widows, men and women who have retired. <1 In another sense, of course, the “owners” of the Company are our customers, who, in effect, control it and receive its benefits. You control Standard by your choice of brands. You benefit by the quality and economy of the products we sell. The only way we can look after the inter ests of our shareholders is by making sure that Standard serves you well. STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA plans ahead to serve you better
