I “How can small
firms hold their own
with a big
company like you?”
Men who run small businesses ham
said such things as: "Somepeople think
we’re being frozen out. I’m doing well,
fp but what about others? How can small
2 firms hold their own with a big com
SI pany like you?”
j|j You can see the answer for yourself
^ when you get a clear picture of the
| j way business firms depend upon one
another. Even a big, integrated
Hd company can’t stand alone.
Our company is a number of parts that fit together like pieces of
a jigsaw nuzzle. 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 ana
trucks, and distributing organizations. But the territory is broad, the
needs many.
Suppliers, competitors and customers—nros#
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,OOP
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 lineB.
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 weB
indeed; and through serving well, many of then*
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.
