You and the West profit
when Standard changes a dollar
Like you and your family. Standard Oil Company
of California has to have money coming in to keep
going. And like you, we must divide every dollar of
this income into quite a few pieces to keep the bills
paid. Our budgeting is naturally on a large scale, but
the result is about the same: most of the money
Standard takes in goes right back into circulation.
And when a sum like $1,229,000,000 (our total in­
come last year) goes into circulation, its benefits are
broad and deep. Practically everyone in the West
shared, directly or indirectly, in Standard’s good
year. We thank you for your patronage that made
it possible. And we’d like you to know that a sizable
piece of change from each of our dollars goes for
things that improve service to you: research facilities
for development of better products at low cost: new
plants to make them more available: widespread ex­
ploration for new petroleum fields to help keep
America’s oil barrel full. To do these jobs, now and for
the future, here’s how we changed a Standard dollar:

ments, other employee benefits. Most
of the rest went to buy supplies, from
paper clips to steel, bought locally
when possible. S tandard was a cus­
tomer of thousands of W estern firms.

13* paid for other new

It cost $162 million and it included
money for refineries, pipe lines and
for drilling wells in the search for
new oil.

8* for taxes was divided among
the U S. government, states, coun­
ties and cities. Standard’s tax bill
came to $101,500,000 . . . enough to
build plenty of schools, bridges, park
equipment, etc. Standard also col­
lected product and sale« taxes for
federal, state and city governments.
