 For your information the Union Oil Company of Delaware has 279o of the stock of the Union Oil Company of California. In the merging of the Union Oil Co. of Delaware with the Royal Dutch Shell Company there has been involved only 279o of the Union Oil Company of California stock.
 In order to safeguard the interests of our institution the stockholders were circularized for the purpose of instituting a movement having it's ob- ject combining the holdings of those who collectively own large majority of the Union Oil Go. of California stock, but who being unorganized, were unable to protect their interests. The sole object of this holding com pany arrangement is to safeguard any further encroachment on the part of the foreign corporation in obtain ing control of the Union Oil Company of California. It will be interesting for you gentlemen to know, and this information taken from the California Oil World of November 10th, that nearly 6O% \of the Union Oil Co.,, of California stock is now in the hands of the holding company, which spells failure on the part of any foreign in stitution to obtain control of this company.

 Gentleman: "From time to time information has come to our attkntion from var ious districts to the effect that a great portion of the general public are in doubt as to whether or not the Union Oil Company of California is now part of the Royal Dutch Shell Company combine, particularly in view of the recent newspaper state ments having reference to the Union Oil Company of Delaware merging with the Royal Dutch Shell Go. The similarity of names, ie: Union Oil Company of California and Union Oil Company of Delaware have aided largely in the confusion which seems to exist in the minds of our many good purchasing friends, and in order to dispel any illusions which they might entertain in that direction we deemed it advisable to address you
