THE automobilist appreciates
l good gasoline most when he
steps on the throttle and notes
the efficiency in performance of
his engine blueprint efficiency
alone means little to him.
Knowing this, the Standard Oil
Company Qndiana) has devoted
much of its energy to the devel-
opment of a motor gasoline
which not only stands the Cruel
ing test of research laboratories,
but which has proved its eff
cheney in thousands of cars
operated under everyday road
and weather conditions.
The Company has studied the needs of
the notOrist at first hand, and has devel-
oped Red Crown, its motor gasoline, toa
point where it meets exactly the needs of
the automobile engine operating under
conditions obtaining in the Middle West,
The efficiency of Red Crown syrnbolizes
the spirit which animates the Company
as a whole in its endeavor to render
an intelligent, efficient service to the
public generally.
The tremendous increase in the number
of automobiles and trucks from 1888, 900
in 1914 to 7,459, 5O7 in August, 1920, has
made more apparent than ever the
absolute necessity of a comprehensive,
dependable system of distribution.
The development of such system has
changed from something merely desir-
able to something vitality necessary. The
best gasoline in the world is useless if
you cannot get it when you want it.
Every step from refining to final delivery
is of such importance to the Standard
Oil Company (ndiana) that its interest
never abates until its gasoline is deliver
ing maximum motor mileage; until its
lubricating oils are helping do the work
of the world to the satisfaction of the
ultimate consumer.
The greatly increased yield of gasoline
which this Company has been able to
recover from the crude obtainable has
been accomplished without sacrifice Of
quality.
Red Crown and Polarine performance
are the best proofs of Standard Oil
