Ruth Randall
1 lie school teacher who owns an oil company
urn randall teaches Latin at San
XV Bernardino High School, San Bernar
dino, California.
In 1939 she invested part of her savings
in 50 shares of Union Oil Stock. This makes
her—along with some forty thousand other
people—an owner of the 45th largest indus
trial company in the country.
And entitles her to examine the report
card on our sixty-fifth year of business.
It was the largest in our history. Our cus
tomers paid us $351,'731,078.
VVc didn't keep all of this money, of course.
16.8% of it we paid to our 8700 employees as
wages and benefits.
4.8% went for taxes. (This does not in
clude S60,000,000 additional in fuel taxes
which we collected for the government.)
68.2% — by far the lion’s share — we
divided among more than fifteen thousand
other companies and individuals with whom
we do business.
litis left us net earnings of 10.2%. From
which we paid shareholders like Miss Randall
4.5% as dividends for the use of their money,
and reinvested the remaining 5.7% in
necessary' expansion and modernization of
facilities.
We hope Miss Randall is pleased with this
report. We are certain she should be pleased
with herself. For in wisely investing in Amer
ican industry- for her own security, she has
helped to create a higher standard of living
for everyone.
