You go out and buy a car h,. yourself and your
Family—a car big enough for your needs. So with
Standard. We provide whatever facilities it takes
to handle our crude oil and keep delivering our
finished products where and when they’re needed,
to customers who depend on us for service.
But the way some people seem to want it, our
freedom of choice would be gone. It’s as if you
were to be forced to stop and pick up everybody
who lifted a thumb at you. We’d be required to
carry anybon'y's oil in these tankers and pipelines,
even if our own had to be set aside.
“Why shouldn’t
you haul the other
fellow’s oil?”
One of the things people ask about
Standard is why we do not let other oil
companies use all of our tankers, marine
terminals, and pipelines. They say, “Why
shouldn't you haul the other fellow's oil?”
The answer to that question is that
we’re mighty busy hauling our own, meet
ing our regular obligations to our custo
mers. Standard just can’t share all of its
transportation equipment with other
companies. And it’s unfair to ask us to
do it. It’s like asking you to let everybody
else use your car.
Now suppose you’re driving your car and
a hitchhiker thumbs a ride. You pick him up only
i f you want to. The choice is yours. So again with
Standard. In our pipelines within a state, cross
ing only privately-owned land, and in our tankers,
v may choose to carry only our own oil.
In time, if your car were taken over like that,
you’d have to buy another for your own use.
Once again, so with Standard. If we were forced
to carry competitors’ oil, we’d have to buy or
build additional facilities to handle our own. Re
sult: increased costs to us, higher prices to you.
When they’re needed for national defense, Standard makes its private facilities
available for public use. But we can’t do it as a general rule. We would lose our efficiency
—a loss to y >u, our customers, as well as ourselves. We don’t believe you want it that way.
