Those Standard Oil Companies
The Stanard Oil Company of California, which has
so long very largely supplied the petroleum products
needs of Alaska, is justifiably concerned over the
manner in which the public is confusing the California
corporation with the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey which has lately been in the news in connec
tion with a synthetic rubber agreement with a Ger
man concern.
This case having been settled by agreement and |
prosecution dropped, there is no need here to discuss
it, except to mention that about the only thing in
connection with the case which failed to get plenty
of publicity was the fact that the president of the
Standard Oil of New Jersey testified that the method
of manufacturing synthetic rubber developed by his
company’s research men had been offered to the Am
erican Government and to various American manufac
turers and turned down before any approaches were
made to foreign interests.
That, however, is beside the point which is, that
Standard Oil of California is an entirely separate cor
poration of fully individual management and that it
has no interest whatever in the patents involved in
the issue.
In handling the story, newspaper headlines and ra
dio newscasters have quite generally referred simply
to “Standard Oil" or “Standard,” which to the public
of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, means Standard
Oil Company of California. We hold no brief for, nor
have any interest in, the Standard Oil Company of
New' Jersey, but are. willing to candidly admit of an
interest in Standard of California, w'ho have not only
been good clients of the newspapers of the Territory,
but have been right in there pitching since pioneer
days for the development of Alaska.
