Well, In 1939, the last year before the war, gasoline
cost less in the United States than in any other nation
in the world. The average price throughout this country
was 18's'c per gallon-including taxes. The average price
throughout the rest of the world was 33.7c per gallon.
Of course, we had plenty of crude oil within our
boundaries. But then, so did many other nations. We had
the scientists, the equipment and the skilled labor to con
vert that crude oil into gasoline efficiently. But we weren't
alone in that respect either.

Jte jlB.
1920 1939
What did we have then that kept our prices almost
twice as low as the rest of the world's? The answer can
be given in one word-competition. No nation had as little
governmental control of the oil industry. No nation had as
many companies competing for the business.
In most countries, cither prices' are regulated by the
government, or the industry is dominated by two or three
big companies. Here, prices are allowed to find their own
levels and the biggest single company has less than 13$ of
the country's business.

d In fact, there are 8,267 separate oil companies in this
nation competing for your patronage. As a result, the cost
of "regular" gasoline to you (exclusive of taxes) dropped
from 29.7c per gallon in 1920 to 13's'c in 1939. And the
quality climbed from 52 octane to 73.

That's why we predict that cnwli
war will be lowest right here in America. For our compcti
