HE only difference between big business
and little business lies in the number Of

vice rendered.
The lahoril1g nan is in business for himself.
He renders service by selling his time,
energy and skill
Big business is the grouping together Of a
great many units to render {, greater service
by cO-ordinatlng tire efforts Of the individuals
and selling the results CT their combined time,
energy and skill.
Up to q few years ago the general PUBLIC did
rot understand the ideals Of service un6erly-
ing big business What it did not understand
it distrusted and naturally condemned.
When the Allies decided to organize their
armies Oh the basis of big business for a
common servlce-they began to get results,
and the world saw the benefits to be derived
from intelligent organization,
The Standard Oh Company (Indiana) is big
Business organized to render useful service.
The objective Ct tie Company is to raanufac.
ture the greatest number OF useful products
from crude petroleum, to distribute them so
that they are available to all aid to sell them
at minimum price.
Tie methods by which the Standard Oil
Company CrdianD renders these services en-
brace tie truest financial democracy, the most
advanced merchandising practices and e,A.
tensiye scientific research.
These are intended to expand the usefulness
of the Company as a public servant, by main
tanning the quality Of petroleum products
manufactured at the highest standard, by max
ing an adequate return to those who are in
vesting their money or their time il the busi
ness of the Company ard enabling the public
to secure their requirements of such products
at minimum of expense
It is this spirit of cooperation animating the
Board of Directors which enables the Com
pany to discharge its complete obligation as a
