WHERE WERE YOU?
By Murlene Trevethan
Last month the music depart
ment in our school gave the
Spring Concert. The chorus sang
beautifully, lovely songs, and the
orchestra played well. Mr. Berg
and the students worked hard to
give you one of the finest con
certs the school has ever1 pro
duced. And—where were you?
There were few more than fifty
adults attending, and most of
them were parents who had chil
dren appearing in the show.
In February a Coronation
Dance was held to crown the*
Alaska-Nebraska Queen. Very
few grown-ups attended. The
parents and close friends of the
girls in the contest were the only
ones there besides high school
students. The dance was—nat
urally—a flop! And—w here
were you?
You're always good about con
tributions. When we ask you to
buy an ad for this or that, you
merchants sign up fast and your
checks put across our publica
tions. When we sell tickets, you
patrons shell out just like '‘Dad"
—but, when we put on some
thing to show you we’ve worked
and earned some attention—
where are you?

NECESSITY
I want a little house, and wind,
and snow,
And cheery fireplace deep
within the wall,
And books, and lamps with soft,
still glow,
And gay, fine pictures hanging
in the hall.
I want thick, soft carpets on the
shining floor,
And many pillows for a tired
head,
And love to keep it, nothing,
nothing more
But this I want, I must have,
ere I'm dead.

Who gets the money
Standard takes in?
mmmm a*. simtmm
Goods and services —
from paper clips to pro
fessional services—cost
us $324,743,000. It was
spent with thousands of
firms, large and small.
Exploration to replace
oil our customers use is
a vital operation. Our
stepped-up search for
new oil reserves cost
$79,000,000 in 1953.
W . .
Crude oil was a big item.
To supplement our own
production we bought
$135,600,000 worth—an
important sum to crude
oil producers.
Employees’ wages for
time worked took $163,
947,000 of our income.
Another $43,000,000
went for employee bene
fits for Standard Oilers.
Wear and tear, depreci
ation and upkeep cost
$157,834,000. Part of it
will replace worn-out fa
cilities, but millions went
to workmen, technicians.
Taxes paid by Standard
to U. S., states, coun
ties and cities amounted
to $106,300,000—enough
to buy plenty of fire
trucks, schools, bridges.
New construction, such
as refinery facilities, to
make more and better
products, cost $145,
000,000. This helped
meet builders’ payrolls.
112,000 shareholders’
profits came from what
was left. They received
about on each
dollar’s worth of stock.
Total: $86,020,000.
Your picture belongs here, too. Because most of the
$1,156,757,000 Standard Oil Company of California
took in last year ended up with you—the public.
Whether one of the hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of checks Standard wrote last year was sent
to you, or spent with you, or helped make possible
better gasoline and oil for your car, you and practi
cally everyone else in the West benefited. Thousands
of merchants and professional people in hundreds of
towns profj0d from the pay checks Standard Oilers
spent. Our tax payments helped finance schools for
your children, parks for vacationers, and bridges for
motorists. Carpenters, steelmen, lumberjacks bene
fited from the facilities we buj^t and the maintenance
work we did. It all fits together: 1953 was a good
year for Standard because so many of you thought
our products well made and worth buying. And by
making it a good year for us, you made it a good
year for many others.
