can be a significant hazard to
night driving, according to Heinz

WHAT DID IT COST
TO CREATE YOUR JOB?
If you're an average U.S. factory worker—$12,000.
If you're a rough carpenter, it took approximately $350 worth
of tools to set you up in your trade. +
Tools for a garage mechanic cost about $3,000; for'a
Washington wheat farmer $12,500, for a secretary $300..
But if you work for Union Oil, it took $77,000 w«rth of tools
in the form of trucks, service stations, refineries, oil wells, etc., to
create your job.* Obviously, some of our jobs require considerably
less investment than $77,000 and some considerably more. But
this is the average for Union's more than 9,000 employees.
That’s big money. But it accomplishes big things. •.
It brings Union's customers better products at lower costs. ft1
enables eaclf employee to produce more and therefore earn more.
It creates better jobs and a higher standard of living.
*£t r» tins faun does not include the "tools" Union rents for its
employees, such as office space, tankers, telephone service, etc.
