Standard Oil (N.J.) Annual Report

  • San Francisco , 1969
San Francisco, 1969. Four-panel brochure, 8.5x11 inches, minor toning, very good. Parody corporate report, made for distribution before a Standard Oil stockholders meeting in San Francisco. Rear cover invites the reader to a protest sponsored by Liberation News Service, SDS, and other groups, featuring Kenny Horsten and a speaker from the Black Panther Party's UAW caucus.
Sample paragraph from the report: "Our holdings become more diversified with each passing year, as we seek new sources of return. Our chemical divisions have moved heavily into the production of pesticides. Unfortunately, many of the migrant farm workers that harvest America's crops have become seriously ill and even died from these substances, but the growers are most enthusiastic about our products. Our domestic market will continue to grow; and Vietnam provides a captive market for our defoliants.".
