History of the Company
a Great Business
Romance
X , ' ' ' ' ..-.
f
TWO years ago this month the Omaha Refining Company was
organized. From the start it has reflected the character of its
founders. Their high ideals and superior business ability have,
in this short time, made of it a striking business success.
- '
At the outset it was determined by these men that "high fi
nance" should never play a part in any of the acts of the company.
There was to be no inflation. It was to grow in a healthy, normal
manner. Stability was their object and stability is what they have ,
given it. - -
To do this plans were laid with the greatest possible care. Toy
start with the first unit of the refinery was built. It is a unit of
1,000 barrels daily capacity. This was completed and began opera
tion March 1, 1920.
t y Sales Increased Enormously. , '
.While this work' was under way the sales force, which is a "vital
part of every enterprise, was organized. Work" egan on establish
ing a market. Nearly a year before the plant was finished sales
had actually begun. In the first month, 'May, 1919, sales totaled
$7,045.74; a good beginning. One year later sales for the month of
May amounted to $99,346.05. June of this year showed $117,965.15.
i . ' rV
' Today the company is established on a firm footing. Sales pos
sibilities far exceed the output. The refinery is working to full ca
pacity. The second unit, also of 1,000 barrels capacity is being
rushed to completion as' are the pipe lines into the Osage oil fields.
It is now a Tace t6 keep up with sales.

Refining Business Not
Speculative
Making a success of an oil refinery is not a
speculative enterprise such as is the case with wild
cat investments in oil stocks and leases. But often
the two are confused and some of the bad reputation
- of oil gambling hurts the refining business.
:A refinery buys oil from producing wells of,
known value much the same as vay other business
buys its raw materials. It is strictly a business en
terprise from start to finish. ' .,
Refining pays Big Dividends. (
The fortunes made in refining are not heard of so
much as those made by lucky oil strikes they are not
so spectacular. But they are far more certain. Actual
figures show that refineries, as a class, pay higher
dividends than almost any class of business in the
United States' today. ;f N
Of eighteen large oil refining companies from
which statistics, are available the following amazing
figures are shown:
These eighteen companies have
paid an average of 654 in stock divi
dends since their organization and in ad
dition an average of 51 annual cash
dividends.
