Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
Thomas J. Watson, Jr. is President of International Business Machines Corporation. The son of IBM’s founder, Mr. Watson has played a leading role in bringing the electronic age to U.S. industry.
OIL AND ELECTRONICS MIX
“The courage, energy and ingenuity of the American
people deservedly get most of the credit for our country's
remarkable progress. But we must never forget how
much this progress depends on the very existence
and the continued vitality of our competitive
free enterprise system.’
"For almost 50 years IBM has
been developing new `tools' for
American industry. It has been
a most rewarding experience.
And it shows once again how
the spur of competition among
free men working in free industries
keeps improving the American
standard of living, already
unparalleled in history.
"Take America's oil industry,
for instance. With over 40.000
companies in the industry, you
can imagine how competitive the
oil business is. But the progress
created by this competition is
almost beyond imagination.
"The moment we develop a
new electronic computer, some
oil company is ready with a new
way to put it to work. But in no
time at all some rival company
finds an even better use.
"Oilmen now use computers
to determine the rate at which
an oil field will yield the most
crude oil for the longest time.
This will help assure America
of enough oil for tomorrow.
And to see that you get perfect
products, modern refineries use
electronic computers to provide
control data for the manufacture
of oil products.
"The result of this competition
is dramatic: We Americans
get better oil products at better
prices than any other nation in
the world! And, as long as our
competitive business system
continues, there's no limit to the
remarkable new products and
services America's oilmen will
create for us all.”
