A s each Certificate falls due. the B of M has It cashed and credited to their account - automatically, The service costs very little. This method saves folks the chore of sorting Certificates every month endorsing and mail­ ing each one to Ottawa when. it falls due, and then cashing or depositing the cheque for it. Many people find this new B of M service a real help in sav­ ing for something worth while, points out Jim Hendry, local manager. Since the proceeds of their Certificates go straight into their savings accounts, they’re less inclined to spend the money than if it .passed through their hands first. Make a point of putting your Certificates into B .of M safe­ keeping tomorrow. It’s a safe­ guard for your plans for the future — and a step you won’t regret. . (Adv’t) DARLING & GO. OF CANADA LTD.—Harriet Brown 5 IMPERIAL OIL LIMITED a On the year's business we made a profit of less than a cent a gallon on products sold. This amounted to 4 and §/10ths cents out of each sales dollar we received. Bringing yon oil is a big job—and a costly one. We raised most of the money we needed by borrowing and by selling some of our major investments; the rest was earnings put back into the business after paying dividends. It was a busy, successful, interesting year. When it began we were Sometimes hard pressed to meet all your needs; when it ended supplies were assured. It saw new oil discovered, making Canada less dependent on foreign supplies; new equipment added, helping to serve Canadians better with the products they need. To do this we had to spend a lot of money. We sent men ranging over thousands of square miles in the search for new oil fields—and we found new oil. We built new ships... new pipe lines... new refining units... new marketing facilities ... and a host of other things. Again last year we spent more money than we earned, but it was an investment in Canada's future as well as our own. fl you’re interested in fads .;; 1948 set new records in all phases of Imperial Oil’s operations. If the wells drilled by the company to find and produce oil in Canada dtirina 1948 were placed end to enc^ they would total 163 miles. Five large tankers were added to the company’s fleets; the Leduc pipe line was extended to Edmonton, and plans progressed for a pipe line from Edmonton to Eegina; 4,711 tank cars moved more than 150,000 oar loads of crude oil and products. Imperial's eight refineries processed an average of 135,027 barrels per day, a new record. Sales totalled 1,819,000,000 gallons. On its operations the company earned $16,873,163—a profit of 93/100 of a cent per gallon for each of the 1,819,000,000 gallons sold. From its invest­ ments the company earned $5,958,907, This week many thousands of Canadians will be reading the story told in Imperial Oil's annual report. It is a story of how, to meet your needs. Imperial last year found more crude oil, produced more crude, transported, refined, distributed and marketed more oil and products than ever before.
