That's 62,785 gallons per minute, 33 billion gal lons per year. Gasoline in that quantity-enough to make a small river -can't be stored to any extent. It has to flow. Jm That means the stream must be kept moving con stantly -from oil wells to refinery to substation to service station to you. This takes tank ships, tank cars and trucks. But most important of all, it takes pipe lines - thousands of miles of them. s9 Now these pipe lines cost money. At Union Oil, for example, we have 1100 miles of line through which we pump more than 7 million gallons of gasoline and oil every day. These lines with their 35 pumping stations and dozens of storage tanks cost $20,800,000 to install. . r, ., ... If Union Oil had been owned by, say, two men, this system would have cost them $10,400,000 apiece. But since the company is owned by 32,227 people the cost averaged just $645 per stockholder-owner.

But by pooling the money and the talents of a lot of people we've been able to accomplish tasks collectively that we could never have handled alone. 6 Of course, these big jobs could have been financed by assessing all the people through government ownership. But we Americans do it under voluntary legal agreements known as corporations. For in that way we can preserve the efficiency of a free economy, freedom of the individual and that all-important human incentive - competition. union on companv OF CALIFORNIA 77its series, sponsored by the people of Union Oil Company, is dedicated to' a discussion of how and why A mcrican business functions.
