HUMBLE
Man’s use of petroleum—of oil and natural gas
—began before the first records of history.
But petroleum’s full usefulness to man has been
a matter of decades only.
They have been wondrous years, those decades.
Years that saw automobiles built by the mil-
lions because gasoline was available as a cheap
source of power. Years that saw the oceans
dwindle under the high speed of great ships
powered by oil. Years that saw the evolution
of a more comfortable living in homes warmed
by oil and natural gas. Years that saw rubber,
fibers, paints and many other useful items of
everyday living produced from petroleum’s hy-
drocarbons. Years that saw the earth shrink
under the wings of the airplane, and great wars
decided by the availability of oil.
Thus, the oil industry has led the way into the
wondrous years of our time. The industry,
through foresight, ingenuity, research, and risk-
taking, has found and produced the oil required
in greater quantity each year, has conserved oil
for the future, has devised the transportation
systems that move oil economically, has built
the refineries and plants that convert crude oil
and natural gas to the hundreds of useful
products needed by a growing United States.
The Humble Company, founded in 1917, has
participated'* in petroleum’s progress during
four great decades, and has pioneered in the
development of many current techniques for
finding, producing and refining oil. This week,
with the industry, Humble invites you to con-
sider the variety and extent of oil’s progress ...
Surely no other industry has contributed more
to the making of modem America.
