LIKE RIDING THROUGH
fairyland,
SAYS PHILADELPHIAN
Mrs. Charles Malin, Sr.t mo
ther of Rev. Charles Malin, of
S e w a r d Memorial Methodist
Church, is visiting her son here.
She arrived November 12 after
just a 24 hour trip by plane from
Philadelphia. This is not only
her first trip to Alaska but her
first big plane trip as well.
Mrs. Malin went to Anchorage
by train Monday with the family
and the rest of Seward. Of the
train ride, she says. "It was like
riding through fairyland. 1 just
couldn't keep my eyes off the
scenery.'’ It is the most won
derful natural scenery slit' has
rvor been through. Mrs. Malin
exclaims.
What impresses her most in
Alaska is the cheerfulness of the
people. Back home, she says,
if ii rains or the weather is bad,
folks just don't go places, but
here no one seems to mind. They
take it as a matter of course and
do what they have planned to
do. anyway. "Why, I looked
around on that train." speaking
of the Anchorage trip, “when
the train was held up in the
middle of nowhere in a big snow
storm. If that had been back
home people would have been
almost in panic, but you people
didn't mind it at all. Everybody
was having a good time, never
minding the lateness of the hour
or beng marooned. It made no
difference."
Mrs. Malin will spend Christ
mas in Seward before returning
East.

Who
really owns
Standard?
That old bogeyman —the Tycoon of Rig Rusiness
—seems still to linger in the minds of some people. W hether
or not this was ever a true picture, it is certainly false
today. Standard Oil Company of California, for instance,
is widely held, independent. It has its own management
and shareholders. It is not connected with any ot the
Standard companies in the East.
The actual owners of Standard Oil Company
of California now number 115,942—which is 17,000
mere than just two years ago. They include 283
universities and other educational institutions; 236
churches and religious organizations; 1825 small
and large businesses; 159 hospitals and other med
ical groups; 10,876 employees of the Company, and
102,563 other individual citizens, few of whom could
be called rich. The great number of our shareholders
are people like your own friends and neighbors—
yourself, perhaps — mechanics, clerks, farmers,
white-collar men, widows, men and women who
have retired. In another sense, of course, the
“owners” of the Company are our customers, who,
in effect, control it and receive its benefits. You
control Standard by your choice of brands. You
benefit by the quality and economy of the products
we sell. The only way we can look after the inter
ests of our shareholders is by making sure that
Standard serves you well.
STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA plans ahead to serve you better
