The office of the Standard Oil Company of California

A low stuccoed building with a tiled roof carries the lettering Standard Oil Company of California above its entrance; the American flag flies from a mast on the roof, a bus stands at the kerb, a bicycle leans against the fence, and two men in overcoats and hats cross the street in front, one of them with a badge on his lapel; behind the building smoke rises from a stack. In the war years the refineries of California supplied much of the fuel for the fleet and the air forces in the Pacific.
