“Am I
supposed to be
glad you're big?"
Many people write us such comments as
this: "I’ve heard people talk against big
companies like you. Lately Fee been read
ing your statements about bigness. Am I
supposed to be glad you're big?”
The answer to this question depends on
your answer to certain others. Some people
have come to feel that bigness itself may
be bad. Consider the good that comes from
this same bigness.
Do you like a bargain? You’re getting one in
gasoline. Except for taxes, gasoline today costs
just about what it did in 1925. (And it’s better
gas; 2 gallons now do work that then took 3.)
Why? Largely because of competition among big
oil companies. _r>
Do you like new and better things? Standard
has spent over $35,000,000 on research and tech
nical service in the last 5 years, developing new
or improved products, and new raw materials
for other companies. Yet only when allowed to
grow big, by serving you better, can we take on
the work and risk involved.
Do you w ant to keep your country strong?
It takes big companies to back our fighting men
and keep defense goods in full supply. Standard
is at work for our government on aviation gaso
lines, atomic research, synthetic rubber, and
other vital projects.
Are you glad you have the conveniences of
this “machine age?” They depend heavily on oil.
You’re assured an ample supply of oil by the en
terprise of big companies like Standard. We seek
out new crude reserves, in this country and
abroad, with exploration that may cost millions
before the first gallon is found.
Obviously, there are counties j ways express the benefits you gain by our bigness ...
countless questions we could ask, to which you’d probably answer “yes” just reaudy.
And if you like the things that bigness bring?, then you can be glad we’re big.

who is curious what is being
done or what should be done.
“This is no one person’s pro
ject but it is a joo to ue done
by the community, especially
lathers ol children anu adults
who will use the pool this sum
mer. So—come out and help—
come on your own and dig—
talk this up and get others in
terested — it you don’t know
what to do, call any of the above
mentioned men on the commit
tee—and, at least, answer the
general call for manpower when
it is given.'
This work on the First Lake
swimming hole project is in no
way connected with nor deter
rent to the David Shea Swim
ming Pool Fund. That money is
set aside as a growing fund with
the ultimate goal of a real, in
door swimming pool. Until such
time, howev.r, as enough money
is available for such a pool,
something must be done to make
swimming and bathing safe for
the many children and adults
who use First Lake every year.
Some cash will be provided by
tiie Red Cross Water Safety
Committee to assist in purchase
of cement for the penstock. This
is expected to be the only item
of cost necessary to improve the
pool.
New diving boards and floats
and possibly dressing rooms will
be provided by the city council,
as well as use of city equipment.
The main thing is manpower,
which must be volunteered by
the community.
Mrs. Loren Peterson will
leave soon for a month in the
States. Upon her return she will
go to work for her husband,
keeping books, etc.
’W ith its amazing economy of up
to 30 miles on a gallon—your
Henry J can save you more than
300 gallons of gas over the
average car —every year. That's
real pennv-a-mile economy!
