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, ,

the mluria that had gone before.

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.

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

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.
