In 1890, when everyone tetd ty Icerasen lamp or gaslight, running an oil company wu a simple operation. The automobile hid not been invented, railroads still burned coal ...and people used just three petroleum products: kerosene, asphalt and axle grease. 2. W cuM male at! of these products vt could sell at Union with old-tashtoned J5.000 hell stills. So it wasn't too difficult for nine Santa Paula, California business men to start the company out of their personal savings. 3. H Klantlfli pros ran had stopped at that point, and rather still read by kerosene lamp, we could still operate on that same basis. But it didn't. In the yean between 1890 and 1943, , man made more scientific progress than, in -all the mluria that had gone before. . 4.srault,ourtooliofproducrionbeajne so complex and expensive that no one man, or small group of men, could provide them. Take refinery equipment, for example. By 1919 we'd graduated &om shell stills to tube stills -we no longer fed In a barrel of crude at a time and ladled off the products. S, Slit tub (tills cost 20 timet as much tai we had to have more of them. By 1924 we hid Installed a cracking plant to crack gas oil and make more gasoline. This gave a pretty good gas but we kept experimenting to improve it until in 1938 we put in hydrofbrming units that cost 600 times as much. 6. Ant! Hiwy we're installing catalydt crack ing units ("cat" crackers) that cost many rime more. "Cat" crackers will enable us to make more powerful aviation gasoline at well as improved postwar motor gasoline. This kind ' of progress is typical of all branches of the oil business. 7. And II explains why Union's owners have increased from 9 people to 31,632. For the only way you can finance this kind of equip ment is by feeling lii rnmiy eft hi fnplt Now you can form these pools in two ways: by government ownership or by private corporations. We Americans chose the latter. S. Nr K sf sarwsa the economic freedom of the individual, the efficiency of a free econ omy and that alt-important human incentive competitioa. The system may not be per fect yet, But it has given us the highest standard of living and the greatest capacity for production any nation has ever known. Tht ampanf that became Union Oil was founded in 18S6 out of the per sonal savings of nine Santa Paula, California business men. Today, it is owned by 31,652 people, most of whom live right here in the West-3,628 in San Francisco, 434 in Seattle, 7 in Grants Pass, Oregon, 274 in San Diego, etc ' TheCcmpany's profits which inl942 amounted to 3.8 on capital invested are shared among these people. Last year this net profit amounted t $174.94 per stockholder. Of this sum, $147.42 was paid out in dividends $27.52 was left in the business. In return for these profits, the 31.652 . owners have financed the tank ships, wells,refineriesandservicestation$ thai make Union's operations possible. This Is the story of most A merican corporations. By pooling the money and talents of a lot of people, we are able to dot job collectively that we could never do alone. uj HH D) h n n a cd m Pianir Of CA EIFORI I1 AMIRICA'S fIFTH FRIfOOM It ..JFRI.I INTIROJfl This series, sponsored by the people of Union Oil Company, is dedicated to a discussion of Wand why American busi ness functions.
