* He built a
$100,000 business
>, with a $1 bill
/\aL - .
1* Georg* Sevelle, at 26, had been a waiter,
window-dresser, candy-maker and race driver’s
mechanic. In spare moments, he dabbled in home
chemistry. Through this hobby he developed a
paint cleaner and preserver. In 1939, be brought
his product to Union Oil.
2« Sevelle demonstrated how it could be used
to “launder” our service stations with better re
sults and for less money than we had been spend
ing. Naturally we were interested in improving
station appearance at less cost. So Sevelle took on
the job of cleaning several Union Oil stations on a
regular schedule. He was in business for himself.
3* The sole drawback was that Sevelle bad no
truck to haul his equipment from station to sta
tion. His capital consisted of a single dollar. So
Union Oil agreed to lease him one truck. He did
such a good job that his contract was soon ex
panded to cover 150 stations.
4* Today Sevelle is almost an institution. He
contracts for the cleaning of 4,000 Union Oil sta
tions in 7 western states. He employs 35 men,
operates 12 big trucks and 6 house trailers where
his crews live in comfort. On top of running a
$100,000 a year business, he’s a Southern Califor
nia community leader, an active member of five
local organizations.
5* This story is important, we think, for several
reasons. First, it’s a real rebuttal to the defeatists
who say there’s no opportunity left in the U.S. A.
for a go-getter who’d like to be his own boss. We
say (and Sevelle seconds us) that there’s ample
room for the ambitious to spread their wings.
6* Sevelle's success also points up something
many people don’t realize - the relationship be
tween big and small business in every field of in
dustry is healthy and helpful. Each is dependent
on the other. So as Union Oil grows, it helps
other enterprises grow too. After all, any company
keeps on growing only as long as it pleases people.
