E. J. FELDMAN MARMIE I. OLSON Main and lartlett 1. If you're over 31 you'll remember that back in 1932 nearly everyone made two stops at a service station. First you drove up to the pump island for gas, oil and water. Then you pulled over to the edge of the lot and got air. No one thought this was particularly unhandy. 2. It certainly beat pumping up tires by hand. But in 1933 Union Oil's service station department got an idea-why not sink the air and water hoses on drums in wells under the pump island ? Then the customer could get everything in one spot. 3 To test the Idea, experimental rigs were in stalled in several stations. The customers loved them. Air and water wells were not only conven ient, they saved a good deal of time. Consequently, during 1934 all Union Oil stations were changed over to this type of equipment 4. Now this change-over cost us a lot of money. In facC"minor improvements" such as this have raised the cost of service stations from about $1000 each in 1920 to $21,000 today. But we had one compelling reason for spending it tompetition. We knew that if we could put out even a little bit better service than our competi tors wt could get more cuslomert. 5 If the oil Industry had been a monopoly -private or govern men tal-we probably would have saved the money and let well enough alone. There's no need to go after more cus tomers when you already have them alL But, thanks to competition, we didn't. And today practically every Pacific Coast service statior has followed suit UNION OIL COMPANY OP CALIFORNIA 6. Thai moral T Simply thlst So long as there's room for improvement in an industry, the only way you can guarantee maximum progress is to have an economic system that guarantees maxi mum incentives. Our American system, with it fret competition, provides these to a degree no other system has ever approached. Tit series, sponsored by the people of Union Oil Company, k dedicated to a discussion of how and why American bust mb functions. We hope you'U feel free to send in any sugges tions or criticisms you have to offer.
