1 In 1890, the first year Union Oil Company was in busi
ness, there were exactly 100 men on our pay roll. During
that year, those 100 men turned out enough petroleum
products to fill 273 modern tank cars-an average of 2'
tank cars pcf man. In 19 13, there were 7.S69 people on our
pay roll.
They turned out enough petroleum products to fill
1S7.374 tank cars-an average of 23?' tank cars per man.
That's an increase of almost 800 in the productive ca
pacity of each man. And it was made !on modern prod
ucts that were far more complex to manufacture than
those of 1890.
w Does that mean that today's Union Oiler is 8 times
the man his grandfather was? No, but he does have far bet
ter "tools" to work with. In 1S90, each of the 100 Union
Oil employees had about $5,000 worth of equipment to work
with. Today, each of the 7,869 has $39,505 worth.

Now this tremendous Increase in investment could
hardly have been made without ptvling the money of a lot
of w.V. The original ISiX) stockholders numbered les
than 50. To have financed an improvement program of
310 million dollars would have cost them more than 6
million apiece.

3 Instead, as the need for equipment grew, they se
cured additional funds by inviting more and more people
to invest in Union Oil stock,' This method was not unique
with Union. It was used by all U.S. heavy industries. But
it is largely responsible for the production efficiencies this
nation has attained today.
Of course, we could have formed these pools of money
"by government ownership. But we Americans have chosen
to tio it under legal agreements known as corporations. For
that way we can preserve the individual's freedom, the
efficiency of a free economy and that all-important human
incentive-wcfi7(?.
