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
