Automotive Industries for 1920 declares
Trucks are operating on railroad Sched-

The Smithsonian Institute, United States

respect to prompt delivery of tarni- pro-

Ii is these motor trucks, tractors and farmer-owned
automobiles that re largely increasing gasoline
consumption, particularly in the Middle West.
During the first four months of 1920, the produc-
ton of gasoline increased iS12%0, while during the
same period, domestic consumption Of gasoline in
creased 33b@o. This excess of consumption over
production has been a potent factor III the advance
of gasoline prices. but the dominant underlying
reaso.l has been the increase in the cost of crude oil.
The service rendered by the Standard Oil Company
Ondiana) lies in manufacturing and distributing
to the tractor, the truck, and the automobile a
dependable supply of gasoline and lubricating oils,
and selling them at a fair price The latest refinery
methods are producing a continually increasing
percentage of gasoline from each barrel of crude
oil. While large-scale production and distribution
assure maximum economy in this industry, the
savings effected by the Standard Oil Company
(Indiana) are utilized to hold down gasoline prices
despite the rising tide of demand for petroleum
products.
