000 —. Two Days to
Fill Them
' EXPANSION
Well-ordered Plant —-
Has Fire Dept., But
NO Fires—Ball Team
—Pensions
,—
'After two days' pumping two new-
storage tanks at the Standard Oil
Plant on the Wilson's Point Road
have finally been filled. and are ready
to function. These two, of 1, 000, 000
and 800.000 gallons capacity are sit-
uated on top of a slight rise. The
larger will take the place of two of
the tanks on the lower ground near-
or the railroad. which are to be de-
molished. The smaller tank, it was
explained by \V. R. Gage, Special
Agent at the local plant. will take
care of the increased business of
the company, which is shown by the
growing demand for fuel and fur-
nace oils, which is consumed in
greater ratio with the installation
of oil burners an doll furnace heat-
ers which are finding favor locally.
Incidentally. it might be noted in
passing. the Standard Oil plant. here
is one of making big strides in Nor-
w.alk The local_ branch is headed
by Special Agent \V. R. Gage. who
has charge of the W'estern Connec-
ticut Di\ision and is the main dis-
tributing point for this area. The
unions oils are shipped by boat
from the central refineries to 1‘ il-
sons Point. “here 1 1 4 miles of 8-
inch pipe takes the product to the
storage tanks. 1 rom here the oils
are resiphoncd in to tank cars and
shipped to various parts of the state.
Some quarter million gallons of pro-
duce are shipped in this way each
day.
Besides Mr. Gage. the local divi-
sion is headed by E. Lee Lockwood
Chief Clerk; B. E. Bailey. Plant
Superintendent; Sayre Youngs. As-
sistant to the Special Agent. and
Ilnrold Peck. in charge or the auto
repair shop. In this last named dc-
partmeni. the repairs and maintain-
ance of all the 750 auto vehicles in
th state are effected. In all. the lo-
cal division covers some 25 acres of
land. has buildings and equipment
\nlued at three and one half million
dollars and is the largest tax‘ paying
corporation. in Norwalk. The branch
has 37 motor tank wagons to keep
up its service to its customers. maln—
tnins seven salesmen and employs
1'25 men. who work on a modern 44
hour week, and who bring into Nor-
walk a weekly payroll of $5.000.
After each employee has finished
one year's service. he is insured.
without cost to himself, by the com-
pany. A pension system is also in
effect. so that a man is retired with
approaching age with a pension ratv
ed according to his years of service
and his salary. After an employee
has finished ten years of service
with the company, upon'his death
his beneficiary is presented with a.
sum equivalent to one year's salary
or wages.
It is not surprising. then. that
the Norwnlk Division finds that most
of its men are of long service, in
fact. according to Mr. Gage. the ser-
vice ot~the employees, ranges about.
the average of 15 years. An ath-
letic association is a thriving part of
the plant. and a uniformed baseball
team represents the Norualk plant.
A plan is also in effect whereby an
«mployee of more than one year's
service is allowed to purchase stock.
After the first year he can. if he
wishes. set aside up to 20 per cent.
of his weekly wages, for the pur-
chase of stock. and to each dollar
that he sets aside. the company adds
another fifty cents. This holds good
only for the first five years. A vol-
unteer fire department with 35
members is a thriving part of the
plant. and frequent fire drills keep
them at top notch. This is note-
worthy preparedness, especially in
the face of the fact that the local
plant, handling millions of gallons
of inflammable petroleum products,
{or 35 years has yet. to experience its
first fire of any kind.
The plant is spotless in appear-
ance. the boiler room an epic of grey
paint and burnished brass. and the
‘ buildings trim as a battleship in their
coats of paint—made in the plant.
Plans for next spring include the
further development of the plant
and the erection of a new garage and
repair shop along the “'ilson's
Point Road, which will be 175x75
feet. This will be a two story build-
ing, which will cost about $200,000
and will house the new general of-
ilces. \Vhat is at present the ofilce
building will be used as a. stock
room. and as a show room. where
the 61 different products, ranging
from gasoline, benzine,,kerosene and
transmissions oils. to wax, oil heat-
ers, stoves. and lanterns. will be on
view, so that customers may in-
pect the products and the company
can live up to its slogan as framed
by Mr. Gage. "Service to the cus-
tomer as a first consideration. back-
ed by the Standard Oil quality that
is beyond question."
