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.

Craterian Star
Clinton, Ill. tU.R) India is
the theme of Mrs. Ora Burton's
living room these days, since her
son, Vernon, started sending
home ' souvenirs of the land
where he is stationed. Many
strange and beautiful objects, re
flecting the spirit of the land
of All Baba have been sent here
from overseas.
Perhaps the most valuable
and most Interesting of the
whole collection Is a carved rose
wood table with elephant heads
with long trunks forming the
legs. Each elephant head has
two carved ivory tusks. The top
of the table is elaborately carv
ed, with the figure of a native
boy centering the design. The
table is said to be a museum
piece.
Atop the bookcase, Mrs. Bur
ton has placed a tall heron, carv
ed from buffalo horn, flanked by
griffin and a lion, both of
teak. A heavy satin pajama suit
embroidered in . Chinese, hand
carved Ivory and silver filigree
jewelry, and a teakwood jewel
chest, also were sent Mrs. Bur
ton by her son.
For himself in the postwar
future, Vernon, an army signal
corps sergeant, enclosed a to
bacco humidor and a cigarette
bos of brass, Inlaid with Intri
cate enamel design.
Adding to the "land of mys
tery" atmosphere is the golden
colored tanned skin of a cobra-
five feet In length. The skin has
the . softness of kid leather and
is of very tough quality. The
head has black markings which
closely resemble a human face.
Burton has been overseas since
February. 1942, spending all but
five months of that time in In
dia. He entered service in Oc
tober, 1941, and has served as
teletype operator with the signal
corps. .
