“Whafs wrong
about integration?
If s the way
I operate, too!"
Many businessmen hai r made comments like
this: “The way I figure it out. this ‘‘integralinn'
you big companies arc attacked for is just a matter
of doing more than one part of a job. So what’s
wrong about thati It's the way 1 operate, too!"
In answering this question let's consider
first what the word means. “Integration”
means simply carrying a job through several
stops. Integration can’t make a good company
bad. It’s a method any business may use as it
competes for your patronage, increasing its effi
ciency and l*>nofiting you by keeping prices
down. Let’s look at the similarity between our
operation and that of another integrated fuel*
producer whose system is centuries old:
A woodcutter {joes into a for
, est and fells trees. Standard drills
fTr fa,t--sr* | into the ground and brings up oil.
[ If tlie woodcutter sells the logs
then and there.. .and if Standard
sells the crude oil to some buyer at the well. . .
there’s no integration. Each has performed only
one part of the job.
When the woodcutter hauls a
load of firewood he extends his
integration. He’s now in the
transportation business ... as is
Standard when we use our tank
ers and pipelines to transport oil from well to
refinery, and the refined products from there
to areas where they’ll be used.
- v,.. —mrm
Now if the woodcutter takes the
next step and cuts the logs into fire
place size, he has become an inte
grated business. Like him, Standard
works to turn the product into the
forms you use. We refine our crude oil into gaso
line, lubricants, fuel oil, and other products. So
we’re integrated, too.
And if the woodcutter finally
sells the firewood to you, his op
eration is fully integrated. Ours is,
too, when we sell you fuel oil...or
sell you gasoline at Company-owned
service stations. So is integration wrong? Not at
all. And we make best use of it to bring you better
products at low cost.
