“How can small
• /
firms hold their own
with a big ^
company like you?”
Men who run small businesses have
said such things as:"Some people think
we're being frozen out. I'm doing well,
but what about others? How can small
firms hold their own with a big com
pany like you?”
You can see the answer for yourself
when you get a clear picture of the
way business firms depend upon one
another. Even a big, integrated
company can’t stand alone.
•
Our company is a number of parts that fit together like pieces of
a jigsaw puzzle. At the center of things, we’re refiners. Then to be sure
of a supply of crude oil, we drill wells of our own. And to keep up the
flow into our refineries and out again, we provide tankers, pipelines and
trucks, and distributing organizations. But the territory is broad, the
needs many.
ft
Suppliers, competitors and customers—most
of them small firms—are needed all around us. Other
producers supply over 40% of the crude we need.
And we buy thousands of other things, from pipe
to paper clips—last year, more than $110,000,000
worth of goods and services from some 10,000 sup
pliers in the West alone.
There are many small refiners competing
with us. In every field, there are distributors sell
ing either our products for us or competitive lines.
For example, here in the West—independent
service stations selling our gasoline outnumber
Company-owned stations about six to one. . .
and stations selling other brands outnumber our
own about 29 to one.
These small firms “hold their own” very well
indeed; and through serving well, many of them
will grow big. Standard goes right on working
to gain new business—competing for your pat
ronage by increasing efficiency of operation, im
proving products, keeping prices down. But it’s
clear that a vast number of small firms, too,
always will be needed to complete the picture.

East-West Strife
Not Negotiable
Now: Eisenhower
NEW YORK, (Ay-Cen. Eisen
hower said Saturday he would be
willing to arrange a meeting with
Premier Stalin in the interest of
peace. But he declared he be
lieves the differences between the
east and west are not negotiable
at this time.
Asked if he would be willing
to arrange a meeting with the
Soviet leader, he replied:
“I am not certain that is the
way to approach the problem. If
I believed it was and that such a
meeting is desirable, there is noth
ing I would not do to promote
peace and security.”
“I’d go anywhere and do any
thing to promote peace,” he told
a news conference.
Asked if he thought the differ
ences between the Soviet Union
and the United States could be
reconciled, he replied he did not
believe they were “negotiable” so
long as the Soviets suppressed
free government. '
He said there is a “direct clash”
between the ideologies of east and
west.
