During 19*8, the Humble Company spent about $138,000,000 to
help provide the oil you and other Americans needed in that year of
unprecedented demand, and to develop the oil resources which
will provide the oil you need not only today, but next year, the
year after — 10 or 20 years from now. The 1948 investment
by the entire oil industry was approximately 2 billion dollars.
That is a lot of money! Where did it come from?
The larger part of it is reinvested profits. In other words,
American oil companies have such confidence in the future
of their industry in this country that they have plowed
their profits back into the business, just as a farmer
plows under a good green cover crop.
And for the same reason: the farmer thus assures the
continuing fertility of his soil; the oil companies assure the
continuing success of their business . . . the security of — _ -
the jobs of their employees, a continuing supply of
oil for your needs, the immediate availability of oil for
national emergencies. The major portion of profits
made in the oil country stay in the oil country to
develop its resources, and to supply a market for its
industries. In the last 10 years, over half of all
the profits of oil companies have been
reinvested in the business.

HUMBLE
In 1948, Humble's investment in explora-
tion and production was $110,000,000;
investments in refining and research and
m
in marketing, plus Humble Pipe line Com-
pany's investment in pipe lines, amounted
to about $28,000,000. All this money ft
came from earnings retained in the IjS |
business.

Sundown Garden
Club In Meeting
The Sundown Garden Club met
Thursday afternoon in the home
of Mrs. Jim Gower, with Mrs.
Walter Smith as cohostess.
A paper on “Flower Arrange-
ment,” prepared by Mrs. Ehloe
Thomas, was read by Mrs. Hugh
Elledge. Mrs. Thomas stressed the
importance of arranging flowers
to fit the room, as well being
careful in choosing color to har-
monize with the room’s scheme. A
general discussion followed the
reading of this paper.
During the business session,
Mrs. L. L. Buck, president, was in
charge. A report on the conven-
tion of the Texas Garden Clubs,
District One, held in Hereford,
was given by Mrs. Buck who at-
tended as a delegate from the Sun-
down Garden Club.
From a flower-decked tea cart
