"OFL MELON"
Standard President Says
Company Has Never
Tried to Fix Prices
PROFIT is CENT
ON THE GALLON

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA Omitted
Press. )-Defense of the recent big
melon-cutting by the Standrd OIL
Company Of New Jersey was made
before the Senate committee inves-
tigating gasoline. prices today by W.
T. Teagle, president OF the com
pany.
Teagle justified the declaration Of
huge dividends on three separate
contentious:
1. An equalization OF the outstand-
ing stock with the net value of the
company. was necessary because
Standard oil always has been under
capitalized.
2. 1t was practical TO effect a
wider distribution OF the common
stock while the market value of the
shares was high.
3. An increase in the outstanding
stock was necessary to enable the
company to complete further financ-
ing.
Teagle said these we're the sole
considerations" which prompted the
move.
In revealing the details OF the
stock distribution, OF the Standard
oil of New Jersey. Mr.. Teagle de-
elared John d. Rockefeller Sr. has
not been a shareholder in the com
pany since 1920 and the late William
Rockefeller owned only 700 shares
at the time of his death.
Mr.. Teagle denied that the STAN
dard Oil of New Jersey was a party
to any combination that sought to
fix or maintain prices either whole
sale or retail.
He asserted that out OF every dol
lar paid to the company by the con-
sumers, its profit amounted to only
5.56 cents with the consequence that
with gasoline selling at about 81
cents a gallon. the company makes
profit OF only one cent a gallon.
Teagle denied that the Standard
OIL was a monopoly" restraining
free trade in oil.
Teagle said the American oil in
dustry had a value in 1910 of ap-
proximately $3.50. 100000. In 1916,
1915 1t was slightly over s4,000,O0O,-
600 and June 80, 1922. il was esti-
mated at s7,s77.S75.0 900.
Teagle went into detail to deny
charges of trust" which have been
facility made against the present
Standard oil units.
THE Standard Oil Company New
Jersey. is not interested in or has
1t any connection with the Magnolia
Petroleum Company. the Midwest
Refining Company, the Sinclair pur-
chasing and pipe line companies the
Mammoth Oil Company or the Union
Oil Company" he said.
ut is not the policy or the prac-
tice of the company to conceal its
ownership of or its interest in any
company and we have furnished the
committee WITH the particulars of our
connections and relations in all other
companies in which we have any in
terest.
I'VE have absolutely no interest
or connection with the Texas Com
pany, the Gulf Companies, or the So
called Doheny Companies"

From their infancy they are taught that education and plety so ndnu Tn mana ana tnerefOre when 8 man goes through college he comes out an educated man with deep spirituality.
