AN AMERICAN WAR PRODUCTION RECORD
THAT DESERVES TELLING
• • • V
On December 14, at 3:00 o'clock
in the afternoon, the men and women of
Humble Oil & Refining Company will pause in their work
to commemorate, in appropriate ceremony, a feat
unparalleled in the petroleum industry: The production of
ONE BILLION GALLONS of finished 100-octane aviation
| gasoline at the Baytown refinery.
This accomplishment merits special commendatioiv
because it climaxes 25 years of development, planning,
and teamwork of a great organization. The cooperative
effort of Humble employees has brought about a uniform
progress in all phases of the Company's operations which
has enabled them to establish remarkable records in
finding, producing, transporting and refining petroleum
during a critical period in the history of our nation.
