the advance in the price of gasoline

The Standard Oil Company Qndi-

pleting the cycle of service from

The present low price for gasoline
in the Middle West is due in large
measure to the efficiency of the
Standard Oil Company Qndiana)
in refining and distributing its
products.
The Standard Oil Company Qndi-

search department, which has en-
abled it to increase the amount of
high grade gasoline obtainable
from crude oil.
The efficiency of the manufacture
ing department, plus the all but
perfect system of distribution, en-
ables the company to render an
unique but necessary service to
everyone in the Middle West who,
either directly or indirectly, relies
upon automotive machinery for
power.
The Standard Oil Company Qndi-
