FILLER CO. f Oldsmobile - Cadillac on LDEffl te meet a Miif alisff f u X, till Ryan, 65, is foreman mechanic at the Dominguez Water Company in Long: Beach, California. He and Mrs. Ryan live in a company bungalow at the main plant Bill went to work for the company as a mechanic in 1923 and has been with them ever since. He is also one of the owners of Union Oil Company. 1 In mo he started baying Union Oil stock. Today he owns 100 shares. At the present mar ket his stock is worth over $3,000. He could sell it for that tomorrow if he choae. $3,000 would buy many things the Ryans could use. Among other projects, they're looking for a home of their own; Bill would like to add to his home movie equipment; and Mrs. Ryan has some ideas about furniture. 3. Iwt the Ryans have chonon to inresf that money in oil wells, tools and refineries that make gasoline for ofW propl instead ottpmtU ing it on things they could use Ikmuelvm. Kat u rally, they are entitled to some compensation for this. For you can't eat, live in, ride on or use your share of an oil company. In fart, the invest merit doesn't even entitle you to free gasoline. 4 So our American system offers people who put their money into "tools" instead of "goods" reward in the form of dividend whenever the company makes a profit Last year Union Oil dividends amounted to $1.95 per share. So the Ryans got $195.00 from their holdings. This is within $72.00 of what the average Union Oil eomroon -stock holder got in 1948. Sa For Union OH Company la owned not by one man, or two, but by 84,229 common-stock holders like the Ryans and 2,085 holders of pre ferred stock. The average common-stock holder owns just 137 shares the average preferred stock holder 120 shares. Naturally, some stock holders own more than this average, some less. 6. But the largest Individual Union Oil stock-1 holder cwna only 1 of the total stock. So the profits of Union Oil and most American corpo rations don't go to a few millionaires. They are ' split up among thousands of average American ' capitalist like the Ryans eapitalintn whose combined savings have made Union Oil and most ef our American corporations possible.
