Oil Supply Approaching Ex
haustion
(Continued from pago 2)
to tho Increase In tho coat of other
commodities. In July, 1919, the price
of gasoline on tlilsS Coast was in
creased one cent per gallon. This
was the only advance that had been
made since December, 1910, except an
Increase of half a cent a gallon, which
was. ordered In 1918, by tho Fuel Ad'
ministration, to absorb the general
fr.elght Increase throughout tho coufr
try
Tho Company's recent Increaso of
"tho price which It would pay for fuel
crude oil at tho well from $1.23 to
$1.48 per barrel, with the resultant
Increase In the price of fuel oil from
$1.60 to $1.S5 a barrel was made In
the hope that an increase of 25c a
barrel would stimulate production
and tond to restore tho balance bo'
tween supply and demand. Tho
amount of the Increase was tho re
suit of tho Company's best judgment
and experience in the business. Past
history has shown that an increased
prico for crude oil will result in an in
creased production, ' and that an in
crease in prico tends to conserve tho
use of fuel and to check tho doplotlon
of stocks. This Is tho only known
remedy... If these results do not fol
low, then tho situation in respect to
tho fuel oil supply on tho Pacific
Coast is serious indeed. And it may
be added that even at the present
prices, California fuel oil will leave
the Pacific Coast in competition with
other markets, unless the outside de
mand is checked by changed, condi
tions elsewhere.
In tho hope that the situation would
correct Itself, the Company, for some
months, deferred the action which it
has now taken.
In tho last analysis, this Company
is only one factor in the situation. It
is the aggregate production of some
six hundred producers in California
which alono can ameliorate the condi
tion. This Company has strained
every effort to increase its production
for the purpose of meeting the short
ago in the supply.. This it has dono
by intensive drilling, which kept the
production of Its own properties at
their existing lovel, and by tho pur
chase and development of additional
properties through which, it has in
creased its production. But as against
this, many operators in California
havo failed, Mn tho faco of Increased
costs and of heavy war taxes, to In
crease their production at tho pro
vailing prices paid by refining com
panies for crudo oil. Having Increased
Its own production to tho maximum
of Its abilities, this Company sees no
other courco to Increaso tho supply
than to ntlmulato tho efforts by offer
ing a higher price for tholr product.
Your Honorablo Commission noted
that wo made no statement In con
nection with ourprlco ndvanco of n
need for additional revenue. This Is
correct Considerations of profits did
not enter Into our prico advance. Our
action was designed simply and solo
ly to protect tho fuel oil and gasollno
supply of this CoaBt and to stimulate
tho production of crudo oil. In fur
therance of this tho Company Is cur
rently declining export orders which
would return n larger profit than
local sales..
Wo havo gladly ma do this more
completo statement of tho situation
and hopo that tho facts presented will
make It clear to tho public why the
course taken had to bo pursued If
tho fuel oil supply of this Coast is
not to bo wlfTod out.

Why a Used Car?
THERE ARE MANY GOOD REASONS FOR BUYING
used cars, but there are also many good reasons for not buying
thcin.
THE ONE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO BE CONSIDER
ED in the purchase of a used car, is the responsibility of the
seller. This is true in the purchase of any article of merchan
dise, and especially in the puruchase of an automobile which
has been used, for even the most experienced buyer may go
wrong.
FAITH, NOT ONLY IN THE ARTICLE, JJUT IN THE MAN
OR FIRM OFFERING" IT FOR SALE, must accompany the
used car purchase in order that tlie buyer may obtain full '
value for the money invested.
OUR FUTURE DEPENDS ON OUR HONESTY AND IN
TEGRITY IN EVERY TRANSACTION. WE ARE HERE
TO STAY, AND OUR ONE AMBITION IS TO BUILD UP
A MODERN AND EFFICIENT ORGANIZATION AND
GIVE OUR CUSTOMERS THE MAXIMUM VALUE AND
SERVICE FOR THEIR MONEY.
IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE OF A
USED CAR, let us know just-what you want. If we have not
got it,' we will keep it in mind, and if we do fill the order, you
may rost assured that you will be satisfied.
