Our Federal, State and other taxes amounted to $325,424 a day . . . enough to buy a helicopter for rescue work, or pay for complete training of three jet pilots every day. In addition to paying these direct taxes, in 1956 Standard col lected for and passed on to Municipal, Provincial, State and Federal agencies $193,460,383 as sales and xasoline taxes. Vancouver, British Columbia On an average day we spent $517,446 to keep equipment in repair and up to date ... ex tending a wharf at Vancouver, adding to a refinery in El Paso, Texas or a pipe line to Boise, Idaho. This work provided employ ment for thousands of construction and maintenance workers as well as for the employees of firms supplying equipment. El Paso, Texas Purchases of crude oil took $949,853 a day in areas such as El PaBo, Texas and Bakersfield, California. Even though our own Western Hemisphere production was at a new high, we bought oil from many small and medium sized producers. To these people and their em ployees Standard was a good customer and an important source of income. Salt Lake city, Utah Our 738 em ployee« in Utah were among the total of 38.854 Standard Oilers who participated in benefit plans at the rate of $119,082 a day. One was our Stink Purchase Plan to which Standard added nearly twice the amount an employee deposited. Some other plana included sickness benefits, retirement pay and Company-paid life insurance. Bajo Grande, Venezuela Increasing refinery output and improving the quality of our products are never-ending jobs. Last year one of our operating companies completed a new asphalt refinery in Vene zuela and plans were announced for a fu ture refinery near Everett. Washington. New equipment for our manufacturing plants called for investing $107,741 a day. Standard's owners live in the Weal. Alaska and Hawaii, you’ll find them almost every where. Stockholders include colleges, churches and banks, but most of them are individuals. Of every dollar we took in. 6-6 10 cents or $285,028 a day was dis tributed among Standard's 137,381 stockholders who own the Company. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE $1,567,348.030 STANDARD TOOK IN LAST YEAR can best be told in terms of people . . . many people in many lands. For example, Standard was a customer of more than 10,000 Western firms last year. One major item such as a refinery unit required the services of people in scores of other industries. Moreover, many of the 1250 products we made from petroleum were raw materials for other manufacturers> . • from paints to cosmetics, from detergents to synthetic fabrics. Thus you'd never be able to count the people who benefited directly or indirectly from the $4,282,372 Standard put to work every day last vear.
