The second came at 4:30 the following morning. 'We got 33 the first time and eight tho second," said Sammls. "My greatest thrill came from a Jap officer," he continued.

In 1915, Union Oil made a good line of greases-8 different types "to meet every lubrica tion netd.'.' Today, the lowest-priced cars are far better than that 1915 tourinecar. And they sell for about H as much Zo Todayv Union Oil "makes 78 different greases for indus try instead of 8! And their quality is equally superior. This doesn't mean the car manwfacturers and ourselves weren't doing the best we knew how in 1915. But it does prove the .value of competition, i 3o After all people were quite satisfied with 1915 autotnov biles and greases-inl915. If no improvements had been intro duced we'd be satisfied wilh them today. For we'd know of nothing' better to compare them with. But fortunately the manufao hirers weren't satisfied. Not that they were any more idealistia ' than the average citizen.

So they all kept racking their brains for improvements. Prog ress, from year; to year, was gradual-as it always is. But in 30 years, these combined improvements made a phenomenal total. 5t As a result, the American oil and automotive Industrie ' today have completely outstripped the rest of the world. No monopoly-private or governmental-could have accomplished as much. For there simply aren't the incentives to better your product when vou already control all the trade. 6 So as long as there's still room for improvement in aa industry, the only way to guarantee maximum progress is to have an economic system that guarantees maximum incentitts. Our American system provides these to a degree no other $y tern has ever approached. - J ' Onion ODD. :gffl;P:ifl:flV Of CflLI f 0 R II I a Thhsertes,sponsoredbyihetmpkofUnimOnCompmy-.is odis(ioKofhowanwlAtMricanbusinessfunctiota.
