“The only economic evolution anywhere in the world that amounts to a hill of beans is taking place in this country now,” says the Chicago Tribune, paraphrasing Professor Carver, of Harvard University. ‘There is no phenomenon in American life in our time, which is so reassuring as the increase in small ownership of securities. “Since 1900 the estimated ownership of stockholders in the United States has increased from 4,400,000 in that year to 14,400,000 in 1923. “But this is not the most encouraging and important phase of this increase. Not only has the number increased, but the average number of shares per stockholder has greatly decreased —namely, from 140.1 shares per holder in 1900 to 49.7 in 1923. “Security purchases by wage earners would not have come so soon or so rapidly, were it not for the wise policy of some of the greatest American corporations in offering shares to their employes on easy and attractive terms.” What is true of industry generally is true of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) specifically. In 1919 there were 4,623 stockholders, in 1925 there are 49,804 stockholders. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been a pioneer in offering shares of the Company’s stock to its workers. It believes that the real solution of the most serious problems confronting capital and labor is found by encouraging labor to acquire a substantial capital interest in the enterprise. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) long ago offered its employes participation in the rewards which this Company has drawn from service to society. It makes it possible for an employe to purchase shares of stock in the Company on attractive terms. The system provides that for each dollar invested by the worker, fifty cents is given to him by the Company—so that if an employe buys 10 shares, he really acquires 15 shares. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) incorporated the idea of employe ownership of stock in the Company to encourage thrift in the organization, and to render the public a larger and more effective service. Employe ownership means smoother relations between workers and the Management, and this in turn means added value to the consumer in the way of better service and more economical production. i Standard Oil Company (Indiana) General Office: Standard Oil Building 910 So.
