A story that hasn't been told
AN AMERICAN WAR PRODUCTION RECORD
THAT DESERVES TILLING . .
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 commendation,
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 ail 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.
1 J-jJjt
Humble research and development, in progress for
many years before Pearl Harbor,1 made possible these
accomplishments and contributed greatly to the total
production of toluene, and the tremendous quantities of
finished 100-octane aviation gasoline required by our
Armed Forces.
Humble Oil & Refining Company is the nation's largest
producer of crude oil, and is currently supplying about
one-fourth of the increased production required for
war, as measured by the gain since 1941.
Baytown Ordnance Works, first synthetic toluene plant
in the world, has supplied toluene for at least one out
of every two bombs used by the United Nations since
Pearl Harbor. For this production feat, Baytown Ord-
nance Works has five times been awarded the Army-
Navy "E".
Through the facilities of. Humble Pipe Line Company,
there is being transported more oil than is being carried
by any other system in# the country. Nearly 700,000
barrels move daily through Humble pipe lines—one-
seventh of all the oil production in the United States.
V,
Baytown Refinery has made one billion gallons of fin-
ished 100-octane aviation gasoline—more than has been
produced by any other plant in the world. The world's
first commercial alkylation plant was built at Baytown
in 1938. The alkylation process is the very backbone of
100-octane aviation gasoline production by the entire
petroleum industry.
United in a great singleness of purpose, 14,000 Humble
men and women are devoting themselves to the task
of providing vital petroleum products for war, looking
to the day when their 3,000 fellow employees and all
their comrades in arms will return.
OPEN HOUSE AT BAYTOWN REFINERY—DECEMBER 14-17
So that one of America's great war plants may be seen
in action, Baytown Refinery is holding open house from
Thursday, December 14, through Sunday, December 17.
The story of the refinery at war will be told by dramatic
exhibits of petroleum war products and a great Army and
Navy show of war machines and materials. Specially
conducted tours will take Humble's friends and neighbors
into the heart of the refinery itself.
