V o */ Every hour of the day, oil or natural gas serves you and virtually
‘ every other American. Oil is indispensable to our way of life, it
makes the United States a better, safer country to live in.

oil or natural gas.

greases for lubricants, rolls on tires of sy nthetic rubber xvhich had their beginning
in an oil refinery.
The plant where you work may depend on oil or natural gas as the source of
its power. The oil and gas industry supplies 65^p of the nations energy
requirements.
Meanwhile, if you live in Texas, your children are attending schools to
the support of which the oil industry pays heavy production and ad valorem taxes.

dence that the oil industry has developed the proven reserves that can fuel their
machines of war. Oil also supplies munitions — TNT for instance.

The products of the petroleum industry, oil and natural gas. head the list
of our most useful resources. A progressive, competitive oil industry, encouraged
