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!
