Communications with customers and suppliers
is also part of the plan to implement the name
change.
Besides the new names at service stations and
on company stationery and checks, employees and
annuitants will be aware of numerous visual
changes effected by the EXXON name. The
changeover will mean new company emblems on
literature pertaining to benefit plans, insurance,
and union contracts.
One of the most noticeable of these will be
a change in badges. Employees will be issued a
combination badge-identification card which can
be used for both entrance to the plants and for
benefit transactions. The plastic card, containing
the employee’s picture, will be the same size as
the present identification card. Completion of this

Another change which will be quite noticeable _ _ _ _

reaching their goal with 100 per-

emblem.
New hats have been ordered for all employees
who require them. They are expected to be re-

The ads on TV, radio and in newspapers note
that nothing is changing but the name—it will
become EXXON.
For the public in general, the change of Humble
to Exxon Company, U.S.A., and Enjay to Exxon
Chemicals, U.S.A, on January 1 involves little
more than seeing new emblems and hearing new
names.
To the more than 50 employees at Baytown
serving as departmental coordinators on the
EXXON implementation project, however, the
changeover involves considerably more.
L. W. Stasney, Refinery Administrative, and
R. L. Taylor, Chemical Plant Financial Services,
are the general coordinators of the EXXON im-
plementation plan at the Baytown plants. The plan
involves about 40 typewritten pages listing actions
being taken at Bay town to make the name change.
A large number of the implementation items
involve notifications of the name changes to fed-
eral, stale, and local governmental agencies. Com-
munications with governments regard such matters
as tax payments, registrations, compliances, li-
censes of various kinds, and permits such as
ments in safety, wrote, “You
have proven that safety can be a
way of life both on and off the
job . . . With our minds sold on
safety, we can expect to complete
the remainder of 1972 without a
disabling injury.
“Thanks for a job well done,
and on to 1973 accident free.”
