RECENTLY the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) announced a plan under which it is possible for its 25,000 employes to become partners in the business on a very attractive basis. / The publisher of a small newspaper, unacquainted with the motives which animate the seven men who direct the operation of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), wrote an editorial in which he questioned the motives of this Company, and intimated that the plan was a scheme whereby the Company aimed to benefit by getting in this additional capital. To set right this publisher, and any one else interested, the Company deems it advisable to direct attention to two outstanding features of this plan which are illuminating in this instance. First, that to every dollar paid by the employe for the purchase of stock, the Company adds, as a gift, 50c. Second, that participation in tjie plan is not obligatory, and that in no case is an employe permitted to pay in more than twenty percent of his earnings. In formulating the employe partnership plan, the Board of Directors of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) was inspired solely by the idea of benefiting those employes who wish, through systematic saving, to become partners in the business. It believes that the man who works and saves is climbing upward, but that the man who invests his savings wisely is climbing faster. It believes that the employe who has money invested in the business is freer of mind, more contented, and more productive than if this anchor to windward did not exist. , The idea of employe ownership of industry is in line with modem tendencies. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has always been a progressive organization. Its willingness to receive new ideas has put it in the lead in the petroleum industry.. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has developed an efficient, enthusiastic body of workers. Every employe, from the Chairman of the Board of Directors to the man who drives a tank wagon, is working steadfastly to serve the public to the best of his ability. It is the recognition of this fact that prompted the Board ofDirectors to inaugurate the plan which enables the employe—whatever his position may be—to become a partner—a factor in the business.
