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.”
