A Martian view of U.S. oil industry
This 1956 cartoon created by the American Petroleum Institute, and archived by the Internet Achive, was designed to promote the oil industry. It is surprisingly entertaining. Martians, who already had developed interplanetary travel, needed help from America’s oil industry to understand how petroleum and competition can boost the standard of living for all Martians.
The oil industry information gets going in earnest at about the 7:30 mark. Notice how the oil companies use explosives to search for oil deposits. (via Boing Boing)
