BURRELL MOTOR COMPANY FRANKLIN,M.C.

Here are eicht of the 28,000 people who are Esso Standard Oil Company today. From Nell the telephone operator to Jimmie the salesman, they have two things in common... they 're mighty good people, in mighty good jobs. The average length of employment for all our workers is over 14 years. Over 8,400 have been with us over 20 years. Their skill and loyalty on the job help a lot, day after day, in turning out quality products in this highly competitive business. One reason for this unusually good working team is the unusually good fobs they have. Over 30 years ago this company set out always to be n good outfit to work for... to give the human needs of workers a key place in all planning. With employees, their unions, and manage ment all working steadily together, this policy has led to many unusual job advantages. It has kept wage rates high. It has led to employee benefit plans which include retirement with life income at 65, cash-savings plans, vacations with pay, generous accident and sickness benefits. But the important point is how this combina tion of good workers in good jobs has had good results for so many people... Good for the work ers, of course. Good for the company. Good for the thousand^ of stockholders who own the company. Cooi 1 for the communities where these people make good taxpayers, good customers of local stores, good neighbors. And good results for you, in your car or home or factory or on ^our farm. Today, for instance, the whole petroleum in* dustry is working overtime to meet the greatest demand for its products in all history-and this staff of skilled, experienced people is your assur< ance that everything possible is being done with this company's facilities to meet your needs for more ana bettot petroleum products. ?sso ESSO STANDARD OIL COMPANY
