Every Texaco plant, office and
station bears the Blue Eagle and
every dealer in Texaco products
in the Rocky Mountain division
has been asked to sign and accept
the blanket code. In the pet
roleum industry alone It is
estimated that the annual payroll
win be increased about ESQ or
500 million dollars, illustrating
how cooperation in one industry
can increase purchasing power.

It is believed that It will mean
about $3.50 for Kevin-sunburst,
$1.1O for Pondera and from $3.50
to $40 for Cut Bank high
