To the People of Louisiana

In the course Of the last few weeks the Standard
Oil Company of Louisiana has, through the columns
Of this paper given to its readers the facts about the
oil situation this state particularly as it affects the
Pine Island field.
1t was explained first how the demand for fuel oil
fell away abruptly with the end OF the war, and how in
evitably that cut off the demand for Pine Island crude,
which, up to that time, had been in demand almost
solely as fuel OIL
1t was tflen shown, by the publication Of letters
and telegrarns how earnestly the Standard Oil Conf
pany of Louisiana tried to find other outlets for Pine
Island crudcsn the refneres not of this country alone
but of Canada as we'll 1t was shown how these ef-
forts failed because Pine Island crude owing to its in
eren qualities and characteristics has little to
ommend it for refining purposes. compared with the
highgrade crudes from the Caddo and other fields.
1t was shown that the only market for Pine Island
crude was fuel oil and that even here it had no
chance to compete on any large scale with other crudes
Throughout this agitation attempts have been
made, sometimes by direct accusation sometimes by
nnuendo, to stir up hostility against the Standard Oil
Company of Louisiana being an organization not
loyal to the state of Lousiana-an organization whose
interests in conflict with those of the people Of
Louisiana. This is charge we want to drag out into
the open and kill
So far from discriminating against the Louisiana
oil fields, has been charged 83z of o,r total pipe
line storage Of crude today is Louisiana OIL We have
always been heavy purchasers of Louisiana crude Last
year alone purchased 236l 52 barrels of Louisiana
crude from other producers in addition to 692S0 bar
res which we produced ourselves Had we been able
to get it, would have bought still Of the light
Louisiana crudes We would today gladly buy the
ENTIRE PRODUCTION OF ALL light Louisiana
crude, if could obtain it. For young concern the
Standard Oil Company Of Louisiana has been pretty
good customer of the oil fields of this state.
We have been good friend to labor too. There
are now 1858 employees Of this company within the
state OF Louisiana and average of four persons
soa family this represents nearly $4,000 persons direct

ly interested. Wages paid by the Standard Oil CON-
pany of Louisiana have always been right up to the
top level paid by any other in the state for
similar work, all up and down the line Since its in
corporation, the Standard Oil Company of Louisiana
has paid within the state the sum of $20781 059S4
IN wages and salaries. Last year alone it paid 81 49,
425.03-nearly four and half million dollars paid
right in this state to Louisiana workers. to be spent
by them among the people of Louisiana
In addition to paying good wages, this company
has always been in the forefront Of any movement
looking to the welfare of its workers. In May, 19l8
an annuity plan was put into operation, whereby all
employees receive pension on retiring the exact
amount being based the length Of their service to-
gether with the rate Of pay they had been receiving
Death, Sickness and Disability benefits are paid by the
company to it's employees on similar basis.
During the year the plan has been in operation,
$2488192 has been paid out in sick benefits, to 746
employees and $o008 has been paid in death benefits
to the beneficiaries of 4S employees.
Nine hundred and fifty-three of Our men went into
the service of the United States during the war. In
every case where the Army or Navy pay fell so far
short of what the man had been receiving from our
payroll that he was unable to properly for his de-
pendents the Standard Oil Company of Louisiana made
good the deficiency. Every Of those who wished
to re-ener the companys service was taken on again
upon his return For every who has not yet come
back there is job waiting if he wants it, regardless
of his physical condition In the case Of all who do
fetur the time spent in the service of the Government
will be counted, so far as the payment of annues and
other benefits are concerned exactly as if they had re-
n1ained in the service Of the company without any
break. u
Ten years ago we came into existence and had
the privilege of choosing the State of Louisiana our
foster mother. We hope with due modesty that she
find some slight for pride in growth and
development during that PERIOD and we feel that the
future will prove US still more faithful and active in her
service ! i. ..,.t...

a question whether or not sufficient
labor could be obtained. The a

ployment bureau and established the
fact that not only was IL possible TO

For the past year the presidency
of the Perth Amboy Trust Company
has been held by George +. Reynolds,
but owing to the increase OF his busi-
ness and new additions TO same which

and could not do so while president OF
the institution. and therefore refused
to be a candidate for reelection. Mr..
Reynolds however. still retains his
place on the board of directors.
The refusal OF Mr.. Reynolds TO run,
made IL necessary for new officers 10
be elected with the result as follows:
President. Isaac Alpern; vice presi-
dent, Frank Dorsey; vice president
Peter G. Olsen: secretary and treasur-
er, w. NJ. Weiant; assistant secretary
and treasurer. W. Fl. Pullen.

creased s750.000 and the saving de-
partment within the past seven
months shows an increase OF s4O0. 700.
At the First National Bank, no
