The daily life of the average American is just about 14 times as mechanized as the average Euro pean's.

For their work of finding, drilling, processing and transporting petroleum prod ucts to you they average about 810thi of a cent profit per gallon. mm $7,269,199 looks like a lottif money, but it was divided among a lot of people-31,375.

O Competition. No nation In the world has had as many oil com panies (8,267) competing for the business. No nation has had less governmental control ef the Industry. As a result, the cost of "reg ular" gasoline to you (exclusive of taxes) dropped from 29.7c per gallon In 1920 to 13c in 1939. And the quality climbed from 52 oc tane to 78. 7 241, million-Union Oil employees got approximately $5.21 In wages for every $1.00 that went to the stockholders.
