That the, Union Oil Company has large contracts with the United States Govern- ment. the Canadian Pacific, the Northern Pacific, and other Railway and large industrial enterprises throughout, the Western Coast of British America, ^lie United tates and South America. That the profit-earning, capacity of this Company will be considerably increased by the additions to its refineries ami the extension of its operations which the new working capital will enable it to make.
