Jersey Standard Sets New Highs

In 1967 For Earnings, Revenues


Earnings of Standard Oil
Company (New Jersey) for
1967 climbed to $1,192 million,
up 9.3 per cent or 48 cents per
share over 1966, the company
said in its annual report mail-
ed to nearly 770,000 share-
holders.
In a letter to shareholders
in the annual report, M. L.
Haider, chairman, and J. K.
Jamieson, president, noted
that "the year 1967 was one
of continued growth" for the
company as "production of
crude oil and natural gas liq-
uids advanced to a new high,
as did sales of petroleum pro-
ducts, natural gas, and chem-
ical products. Total revenues
rose to $14,741 million, up 8.5
per cent from 1966."
The two executives added
that "Jersey's earnings in
1968 are expected to continue
the upward trend.
"Dividend payments to'
shareholders amounted to
$3.45 a share, or 15 cents more
than was paid in 1966 the
seventh increase in as many
years, and extending to 85
years Jersey's record of unin-
terrupted dividend distribu-
tions.
"More than half of the com-
pany's total earnings came
from our affiliates' operations
in the United States and Ca-
nada. These results," Messrs.
Haider and Jamieson said,
"reflect one of Jersey's basic
strengths its important po-
sition in the North American
market, which currently ac-
counts for almost half of the
free world's total consumption
of energy.
Commenting on last June's
hostilities in the Middle East
which led to disruption of the
normal flow of oil to world
markets, the two executives
said that "Jersey's affiliates
were well prepared to meet
the crisis. By rerouting tan-
kers and drawing on alternate


sources of supply, they suc-
cessfully met delivery com-
mitments to the company's
customers throughout the
world."
The annual report indicated
that Jersey Standard's out-
look for the years ahead was
an encouraging one, and said
that "during 1967 the com-
pany demonstrated its confi-
dence in the future by purs-
uing an investment program
geared to ensure its full par-
ticipation in an anticipated
5% per cent yearly growth in
free world oil demand over the
next decade and an anticipated
6% per cent annual growth
demand for natural gas."
Capital expenditures by Jer-
sey affiliates for property,
plant and equipment in 1967
amounted to a record $1,619
million, an increase of $414
million over 1966. In addition,
in the search for oil and gas
reserves, a total of $206 mil-
lion was spent and charged to
income in 1967.
To help provide capital for
investment opportunities the
company and its affiliates un-
dertook substantial borrowing
in 1967, including the sale by
Jersey of a $250 million issue
of 6%, 30-year debentures.
Jersey's expansion in chem-
icals continued in 1967 with
Esso Chemical Company Inc.
and its affiliates showing an
11.3%9 increase in sales rev-
enue to $815 million for the
year. "Although profits out-
side the United States have
been disappointing, the com-
pany remains confident that
the longer term outlook for
chemicals is promising," the
report said. "Free world de-
mand for petroleum-based
chemicals continues to grow
rapidly and in time should
compensate for high start-up
costs and overcome the cur-
rent industry-wide imbalance

Holland Town in San Nicolas


Aruba Jaycees and Businessmen

Launch "Operation San Nicolas"


Before a huge attendance in
the YMCA Hall in San Nicolas
April 3, the Aruba Jaycees,
businessmen and community
leaders of San Nicolas an-
nounced grand plans for im-
proving San Nicolas, called:
"Operation San Nicolas."

This ambitious and energe-
tic project for the revival of
the town of San Nicolas in-
cludes three main points:
Jaycee Clean-up Campaign;
Shopping Promenade and Hol-
land Town.

Committing themselves to
carry out the dynamic plans
are two groups: the Aruba
Jaycees Community Develop-
ment Commission and the
San Nicolas Businessmen


I.- -
"n --


Community Development Com-
mittee.

Introduced by Emcee E.
Villanueva of Lago's PR/IR,
the Aruba Jaycee President
Elias Fingal explained the
main objectives of the San
Nicolas clean-up campaign.

"In addition to making San
Nicolas a cleaner and more
attractive place", Mr. Fingal
of Lago's PR/IR noted, "the
idea is to instill a measure of
fighting spirit among the cit-
izens of San Nicolas in the
fight for the improvement
and progress of their town".

For the clean-up campaign,
San Nicolas will be divided
into some 20 areas, each head-



a-


- m Nicolas, looking last (mirando oost). -


ed by an Area Marshal who
will see to it that action is
taken for general clean-up,
repair or painting of build-
ings and landscaping where
necessary. Chief Area Mar-
shal is Kenneth Brook, of La-
go's Mechanical-Engineering
Division.

As main speaker for the
business community, Presi-
dent of the San Nicolas Bus-
inessmen Committee Ronny
Chong introduced Jaycee Sen-
ator and Lago's PR/IR Man-
ager B. E. Nixon.

With facts, figures and
charts, Mr. Nixon pointed out
the past and present history
of San Nicolas and what can
be done to create a new "am-
biente" in this town.

In San Nicolas and sur-
rounding areas, he pointed
out, several million guilders a
year are available for pur-
chases from Lago employees
alone. Since we now have a
buyer's market with a larger
percentage of young buying
population, business people
must have real salesmen in
their stores nowadays, he re-
marked.

After indicating six factors
responsible for the deteriorat-
ing situation in San Nicolas,


Mr. Nixon outlined positive
steps for the town's better-
ment. The idea behind the
suggested improvements is to
revive community spirit, re-
trieve lost purchasing power
and to attract tourists by
giving San Nicolas a new,
fresh look of progress.

Two of the most important
steps he mentioned were:
building a shopping prome-
nade in a section of B. v/d
Veen Zeppenfeldtstraat and
converting the store fronts to
give the section a Holland
Town aspect.

At length Mr. Nixon dis-
cussed the following plan of
action of "Operation San Nic-
olas", to be carried out in var-
ious phases:

P painting
L landscaping
A advertising & Publicity
N ew marketing techniques

F und raising and finance
O ne shopping night a week

PCAR, After Recent Turnaround,


Is Now a More
After about two months of
turnaround work on the
PCAR the unit went back on
stream March 30. The Cat-
cracker underwent a little
facelifting. A visible change is
the new smokestack at a loca-
tion closer to the unit on the
west side. It replaces the one
on the south side at the for-
mer precipitator. This change
gives the unit a more com-
pact and streamlined look.
One of the major improve-
ments made at the PCAR was
the replacement of the old cy-
clones in the regenerator by
40 new and more efficient
type cyclones. This also elim-


Streamlined Unit
inated the need for the preci-
pitator, which has been dis-
mantled.
Other major work included
the renewal and retubing of
the two flue gas boilers and
the elimination of the slurry
settler.
Most of the other work was
normal turnaround work. For
heavy lifting, a 307-foot high
derrick crane was used by the
contractor, Chicago Bridge &
Iron Company.
Having been "on duty" for
about three years before the
turnaround, the PCAR is now
scheduled for a continuous run
of about four years.
