Thcnk you a BSilISM One million . . . Tjvo million . . . Three million . . . Keep on counting for another 997 million and you'll come to one billion. Except for grains of sea shore sand, germs and mistaken ideas held by Japanese, that's a lot of anything. In terms of high octane gasoline, it's enough gal lons to fly 22,000 B-29 Super fortresses around the world. Imagine them as an endless stream of almost one to the mile! Four million . . . l ive million . . . Counting by millions at a normal pace of one to the sec ond, you'll be better than 16 minutes getting to your first billion. Vet at Standard of Cali fornia we have recently pro duced our one-billionth gallon of high octane gasoline! It may give you some notion of the money and effort that have gone to make this pos sible when we tell you that every day one unit in our Rich mond Refinery alone now pro duces five times as much high octane gasoline as the compa ny's entire refinery system turn ed out in 1937 the first year a real attempt was made to meet this military need. Six million . . . Seven mil lion . . . Look, it's a good thing you're not spending your wak ing hours counting a billion by ones. Pretty soon you might be 100 years old and not through yet! Depends, of course, on how old you were when you started. We'd like you to appreciate what a billion g.iilons of high octane means because you, too, made them possible. You people who have got along on two gallons where you once used ten. You people who have carried bundles formerly deliv ered. You people who have sacrificed trips. You who have shared the ride. All you Amer icans who have played the game. Thanks a billion! f77 In., Mt t ton, 4 Wrld'slargeTt (Acme Tclephoio) First picture of hull of world's largest plane, the Hughes Hercules, a seaplane cargo plane, to be finished next January.
