Oil Industry Begins
Campaign to Stress
Importance of Industry
With December issues of The
Hockley County Herald and other
state newspapers, the Texas Oil In-
dustry through its service organiza-
tion, the Texas Mid-Continent Oil
and Gas Association, will begin a
series of institutional and education-
al advertising.
“It is logical that Texas, being the
biggest producer of oil, should think
along lines of institutional advertis-
ing,” George C. Gibbons, executive
vice-president of the oil and gas
group, said. ‘‘Twenty-five percent of
all the oil in the world and forty per-
cent of the oil in America comes from
Texas. One hundred and thirty-four
counties located throughout the state
are now in production with explora-
tion or leasing under headway in all
but fourteen counties of the 254.
“Outside competition has forced
average well production to such a
low figure in Texas today that only
by most careful management can
our industry survive its fixed over-
head costs. If through this institu-
tional advertising program we can
stimulate the bringing of other in-
dustry into the state, we can help
stimulate added employment and in-
cidentally our own industry through
the use of more of our products at
home.
“Each time we interest other in-
dustry in coming to Texas to use our
oil products we cut down exporta-
tion of our surplus. The new paper
mill at Lufkin is an example in point.
Though the paper is made of anoth-
er raw product, timber, it is made
possible through the tremendous
supply of cheap fuel. Much of our
raw product is yet to be processed
within the state. Wool and cotton
are both examples of such opportuni-
ties. ,
“The oil industry has made tre-
mendous strides in the processing of
its crude oil, now refining more than
eighty percent within the state’s
borders and thereby furnishing em-
ployment for many thousands of
Texas people.
“The advertising series will en-
deavor to portray to the public the
part the oil industry plays in the
economic life of Texas and its con-
tribution to employment, tax reve-
nues, distribution of new wealth
created through constant production
of oil and the advantage it offers to
new industry.”
