MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUira. MEDFOKD. OREGON. SUNDAY, SEPTEfBER 22, 1935. PAGE NINE STANDARD SALES STAFF SEE FILM Standard Oil salesmen In this ter ritory were the gueats of the execu ttvea of the company yesterday at a motion picture show featuring a dou ble bill with two feature attractions. The meeting was held under the di rection of Mr. H. h. Hathaway, local district manager for the Standard OH Company of California. Interesting and educational, the films are a part of the program of the company to acquaint their em ployees with the extent and magnl tude of the operations of Standard OH Company of California in order . that they may have full knowledge of the company's resources and pro duction methods and be trained .In more courteous selling procedure. The two forty-minute "tallctes" are each admirably suited to their pur pose. The first, an Institutional film entitled "The Story of Standard Oil Company of California," is by way of being an air travelogue, in one .of Standard's fleet of planes, as It cir cles the Standard Oil building In San Francisco and then sets off to fly over a few of Standard's extensive holdings. Its oil fields. Its pipe lines. Its refineries, Its buildings and Its stations. Every standard employe after see ing this picture was fully conversant with the world-wide scope of the company's activity. This was graphi cally shown by a diagram map of the world showing where Standard oper ated oil wells, where Its ocean-going fleet of tankers delivered crude oil to refineries and refined products to world-wide markets. The Important part that the Stano ard Oil company plays in western prosperity was attested by the figures which show the number of its em ployes and the amount of the weekly payroll as well as the money spent by the company for production, trans portation, refining, packaging, adver tising and merchandising. The audience was brought to a realization of the fact that every form of transportation Is used by Standard In the moving of its pro ducts. Pipe lines, hundreds and hundreds of miles of them: with pumping stations, every -few miles to keep the oil flowing, move crude oil from oil fields to refineries. Pipe lines and tankers are used to ship crude to th refinery and ship, rail and truck to move packaged products from the refinery to dealers. Fleets of sea-going tankers travel over ocean lanes to all parts of the world. Tank trucks carry gasoline to dealer out lets and trucks of all sizes and makes move other Standard products. Fleets of passenger automobiles are used by salesmen and executives. One of the most Instructive parts of this Interesting talking picture Is a trip through the refinery. A power ful argument for the purchase of oils and gasolines refined in this most modern of refineries Is found In this picture where costly machinery, the most efficient built. Is shown In use. Rere, perhaps Is found one of the best Justifications for bigness, for alee, for financial stability, because It was evident to the audience that the buyer benefits from Standard's mag nitude; benefits from the modern machinery pictured In the Richmond , from the many tests for quality and j ... . , ... . umiormity ma., are maae, as a mat ter of course, In this great refining plant on all refined products before they are shipped or packaged. Standard Oil salesmen found In this feature fresh reason and new Justification for the slogan that "Standard is Unsurpassed." The second picture, "Selling Standard," Is an educational film on salesmanship featuring Paul W. Ivey. Ph. D., Professor of Merchandising at the University of Southern California. as commentator and is dramatized by a score of Hollywood actors. It would be of Interest to any group of sales men in the country. Here before the eyes of the audience are portrayed those methods which make for friendliness and more cordial rela tions between the public and the salesman. The necessity for courtesy and service are cleverly emphasized. SALEM. Sept. 21.
