Harry F. Wood, attorney of Olympia, Washington, writes: "What type of competition does actually exist among the major oil companies? Price? Service? Research? If it's research, we should find one oil company's brand of oil, for example, gives better engine protection." The answer to this question is much the same for the oil industry as for most others. Competition is intense in all operations. In oil, operations group under four broad headings... Competition starts with crude. Oil companies explore, bid for rights to land where oil may exist. Then they must produce at costs low enough to meet market prices. Competition continues in refining. Again each company must make the operation pay. If products are either not good enough or too expensive, we can't keep customers. Competition in research exists indeed. A company must keep pace or lose out. Current pace-setter is our new motor oil. With tests using atomic energy, our scientists reveal it reduces engine wear as much as one-half, compared with conventional oils. And competition shows up clearly where our products are sold. This is partly competition in service. ("We take better care of your car.") But it's competition in price, too. To get and hold business, every seller has to hold his prices down to meet others. STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA • plans ahead to serve you better
