626 pages. Glossary. "Highlights from the State of Competition in the Canadian Petroleum Industry - the government report that alleges monopoly practices by Canada's big oil companies." - from front cover. "Compiled from the more than 135,000 secret oil company documents that were seized by government investigators in raids between 1973 and 1978.... Shows that the oil companies purposely restricted competition, worked together to keep prices and profits up, and sacrificed Canadian interests when they were told to do so by their foreign parents." - from back cover. Considering that Esso sounds eerily like an acronym for the Rockefeller's Standard Oil (S.O.) readers of this work will also surely be interested in the early writings of Ida Tarbell and her revelations about the methods of that company and its founder, J.D. Rockefeller. Has anything changed? Book

194638962New York: Standard Oil Company 1946. Second Printing. Hardcover. Good. 29 cm. 530 4 pages. Illustrations. Endpaper maps. Boards somewhat worn and soiled. Board edges/corners bumped. Inscribed by Captain Frank Shaw. Index of ships. The records of 135 ocean tankers of the Standard Oil Company New Jersey and the Panama Transport Company. This is the standard reference for people who want to learn more about Merchant Marine T-2 type tankers and the lives they led during WWII. The Standard Oil Company of New Jersey operated scores of oil tankers during World War II delivering the vital fuels and lubricants to the fighting fronts and combat ships all over the world. Many of their ships were lost to enemy action. After World War II Esso wrote a history of all their ships and the men who sailed them. "Ships of the Esso Fleet in World War II" provides a great history of the company during those vital years. Detailed histories of each ship are provided. A letter from the General Manager of Esso M.G. Gamble to the Marine Department and Shore Personnel was supplied with copies of the book when they were originally distributed to employees. The letter reads: "The management is pleased to present you with a copy of the book "Ships of the Esso Fleet in World War II." We feel that the entire shore staff through its close association with and fine cooperation in the operation of the Company's tankers will be interested in having this practical record of the war service of our ships and the officers and men who sailed them."
