Whether one of the hundreds of millions of dollars worth of checks Standard wrote last year was sent to you, or spent with you, or helped make possible better gasoline and oil for your car, you and practi cally everyone else in the West benefited. Thousands of merchants and professional people in hundreds of towns profited from the puy checks Standard Oilers spent. Our tax payments helped finance schools for your children, parks for vacationers, and bridges for motorists. Carpenters, steelmen, lumberjacks bene fited from the facilities we built and the maintenance work we did. It ail fits together: 1953 was a g<h«l year for Standard because so many of you thought our products well made and worth buying. And by making it a good year for us, you made it a good ’w a r for many ot Iters.
