THE NEWBERRY SUN FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1948 Standard 03 Nowj^^r Esso Standard 03 The name of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey has been changed to the Esso Stand ard Oil company, it was an nounced today by M. J. Rath- borne, president of the com pany. The change was made to give formal recognition to the close association which has developed in the public’s mind over a period of years between the corporate name of the company and its Esso trade-mark. “The trade-mark Esso—first used in 1925 as the brand name for our premium motor fuel— has been given to more and more of the company’s products until today it is the name under which our products are sold for use in cars, homes, farms factories, ships, airplanes and many other uses,” said Mr. Rathborne. “Its acceptance by the public has been so great” Mr. Rathborne added, “that Es so has been practically synony mous with the corporate name of the company.” CLASSIFIED ADS NEED MONEY?
