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.

of the careless driving done in
this
country is done by parents.
We parents ought to think "ONE

a child to school or permit him to play
in the street, and every time we start
out in a car.
We should consider every wild
driver a personal enemy of our family.
We almost ought to carry red flags
with "1 out of 3' on them. I wish I
could arrange an unsigned pact be
tween all parents to be careful of each
other's kids while driving. According
to statistics of The Travelers Insurance
Company, there were 5,290 children
killed and 182,210 who were injured
in automobiie accidents last year.
