There was little or no fall of moisture

and southwestern counties to soak the
upper surface of the ground and re-
lieve the dryness that had been hinder

Freezing weather occurred on only
a few nights, and the mild afternoons
favored cribbing corn and other out
door work, but in the eastern half the

THE farmer of the Middle West
: is a business man who utlllzes
every labor or time-saving device
to increase his profits. That's why
the farmer is coming to be the
heaviest buyer of motor trucks.
At seeding time he hauls his seed
to the field, thus econonizing hand
labor; at harvest time he hauls his
grain, potatoes, and other produce,
to market, and distance being a less
prOhlbltive factor, is able to secure
better prices; and all through the
year he hauls his livestock and
chickens to market, and is able to
deliver them in better condition,
and with minimum of shrinkage.
These are a few reasons why the
farmer finds the motor truck
profitable.
It must be apparent, then, that in no other
part of the nation is rural distribution of
petroleum products quite so important as
in the states served by the Standard Oil
Company fIndiana). These are the farming
states which supply not only the Middle
West but the entire nation with food. The
ten states served by this Company are well
termed the bread-basket of the nation.
: To be of economic service to the farmer,
the Standard Oil Company Qndiana) main
tains throughout the territory it serves a
complete chain of bulk stations, with
tank wagons for delivery throughout the
rural districts. The farmer has come to
know that he can depend upon this service
even under most trying conditions. That
busy, dark green tank wagon serves the
farmer with all the faithfulness with which
the milk wagon and the ice wagon serve
the fiat dweler in the city
The comprehensive distribution system of
the Standard Oil Company Qndiana) is
geared to service at the lowest possible cost
The money thus saved through large scale
operation is passed on to the consumer by
reasonable tank wagon prices throughout
the territory served.
That this complete and highly efficient
system of distribution maintained by the
Standard Oil Company Qndiana) is indis-
pensable to the new type of business farmer,
no one acquainted with the facts can doubt
