Ore mined in the Fanimint Mountains of California in the last century, although shipped hundreds of miles over the des ert and then to England, re turned a substantial profit to the miners. 70 years of confidence Most folks no doubt felt a little uncomfortable a few days ago In using the term "Happy New Year." The war has drained much happiness out of the world. On the other hand, we can hope that 194$ will be year of accomplishment year somehow special. - As for ourselves, ws know . 1945 will be a special year. It is our 70th anniversary. Years totaling three score and ten ' have passed since Standard's first drilling crew manned "spring-pole" drill-rig in Pico Canyon of California and struck oil. ' Since than our progress has been steady by jerks terrific jerks. At first in the days of tne Hayes-Tilden electron contest and Custer's last stand our job was to furnish a bet ter illuminant than whale-oil and candles. Kerosene was the thing. Came Edison and electricity. Came Ford and automobiles. Our world was overturned and re-overturned. Gasoline be came the thing. And around the corner were the Wright broth ers and the airplane. Now, war has given our bus iness the biggest wrench of all. Oceans of petroleum products both regular and special are absolute musts. Hundred octane aviation gasoline is the thing. Since we're all out for war, it's sure the shift to peace some day will have its prob lems, too. But, after 70 years in business, we've learned to face every tomorrow with confi dence. We've learned too, that we do best when you do best. In peace as in war, we all depend on one another. Our 70th an niversary can be the sort of year we want, only if it's a good year for you, too. Always, we know at 70, the general welfare is Ibt thing. (Aemm TeUohoto) Shot down In flames by a Jap Zero over Mlndoro Island, U. B. P.
