If you divide that lexpense between two men, it would cost them $32,944 apiece. But if you di vide it among 31,375 people, as we do, the average cost to each person is only $2.10. , 2 For Union Oil Company is owned not by one man, or two, but by 31,375 men and women. In this principle of multiple ownership you have the secret of America's amaz ing ability to produce more goods (at lower prices) than any other nation on earth. w Before the machine age, when everything from shoes to rifles was made by hand, almost any business could be financed and operated by one man. But with the advent of mass production techniques, many businesses began to require more equipment than any one man could ' finance. 4 In the early 1890's, for example, you could drill an oil weU in the California fields for about $2,500. Today, because we go so much deeper and need such expensive equipment, it costs almost 26 times as muck Furthermore, the chances of getting oil in an exploratory well are only lvtlZ Obviously, you can't finance that kind of operation for very long unless you pool the money of a lot of people. Now some countries form these pools by government own ership. But in America we do it under legal agreements known as corporations. For that way we can preserve the freedom of the individual . . . O ...the efficiency of a free economy and that all-important human incentive-competition. Apparently those factors are worth preserving. For while our system isn't perfect yet, it has given us the highest standard of living and the greatest capacity for production the human race has ever known. union Oil GO MP AH V OF CnilFORtllA This series, sponsored by the people of Union Oil Company, is dedicated to adiscussionofhowanduhyAntertcanbustnessfunctions.
