Crazy? He
dug six stories
down to
$1,000,000,000
THIS is the 80th anniversary
of "Drake's Folly" and the
60th anniversary of this Com
pany each in its beginning
thought a piece of foolishness.
They laughed, until Col. Edwin
1. Drake's first commercial well,
at 6W2 feet, or, roughly, six
stories deep, struck oil. and es
tablished the fifteen billion dol
lar petroleum industry.
They laughed, too, when
D. G. Scofield, familiar with
Drake's achievement in Penn
sylvania, set up his crude spring
pole drill in Pico Canyon neat
Newhall, California until he
brought in the well about which
grew up our parent organiza
tion. Today the far-seeing "folly"
which motivated Drake and
Scofield is a heritage of this
Company. It goes through out
whole make-up here obvious,
there unseen dictating activi
ties, policies, and relationships
After 60 years, our manage
ment still passes by surface ben.
efits to invest effort on thost
to be found deeper thost
which last longer those which
are more widespread.
This attitude of looking be
yond tomorrow is encouraged
in every person connected with
the Company. For it's our fun
damental belief that the qual
ity which marked Drake and
Scofield had another name
inspired imagination and that,
inside this organization or out,
is just about the world's great
est asset

using less than half of the "open

centration of lending activity
