THE price of gasoline is high
when compared to the price
asked five years ago, but the
price would be much higher if it
were not for the long list of useful
products made from that portion
Of the crude which is left after the
gasoline and refined oils have
been removed
The Standard Oil Company
Qndlana) makes wide range of
products from this residue = each
product rendering definite, use
full service to mankind, and each
bearing it's share of the cost of
production, thereby helping to
keep down the price you pay for
gasoline.
The petroleum chemists in the lab
oratories of the Standard Oil Com
pany Qndiana) constantly are at
work trying to develop new pro-
ceSSes which will enable the Com
pany to utilize every fraction of the
crude oil, thus eliminating waste.
This means outstanding the coun-
try s resources by taking from the
crude oil the maximum number of
useful products, and recovering a
maximum yield of each.
To do this is the constant aim of
the Company.

tioning for an instant, the inhabitants of the capital were victims both of in- cOnvCnienccS and proiitccrs. Food prices increased and change, which has been the bugbcar of everybody since silver began its sensational rise months ago, sold at l5 percent pre- mum.

One Am cricar housewife bought go chickens which she put Co roost in the bathroom of her apartment.
