It is requested i.hat delegates be selected fr: m the varicus towsnhips to see to, it that In v have representation at the meeting. ELBERT TOTHEROW, Chairman Rep.. Executive Committee. We're Spending One Thousand Million Dollars.. to meet your growing needs for oil HE job ahead is a big job, calling for big plans and big performance. Right now Standard Oil Company (New Jersey) and its afliliates are modernizing and expanding pro duction and facilities at the greatest rate in their his tory. Expenditures for 1947 and 1948 alone come to one billion dollars. That's a thousand million dollars! It is reported that the oil industry as a whole will spend 13 billion dollars over the next few years to do this job. Why? It 'hat's going on? List year, this country used more oil than the whole world did in 1939 -before World War II. You're getting 61 % more oil products now than pre-war. You're getting 12% more than even the biggest war-time output. 3 million more cars on the road than pre-war ? buses and trucks up 25 and 30%! And the average car is using 50 more gallons of gasoline a year than pre-war! 1,500,000 more homes are oil-heated than in 1939! Farmers have doubled their use of time-saving, work-saving tractors, trucks, and other equipment since pre-war! And this is all to the good. It spells progress. It's part of America's better and better living standards. It's part of the amazing fact that oil has supplied 62% of this country's whole vast increase in use of fuel over the past 20 years? for industry . r>?-irtiltnrr, homes-. <ivd transportation. But it also mean.- ^.ose figuring between present needs and present capacity. Even today's record out put doesn't give the extra reserve of available supply we've always had in the American oil business. This will be true until tlv "nil effect of the new, expanded facilities is felt. But the big new supply for your new need is on its way right now. Wells being drilled. Refineries, pipe lines, storage tanks built. Billions of dollars working as fast and as hard as skill and resourcefulness and experience can make them work. The better you live the more oil you need. And the oil for your needs is on the way! STANDARD OIL COMPANY (NEW JERSEY)
