will run into several hundred. Ard

now European goods are selling in
South America for as much as ~

American goods. This crop Of idle

have done in philanthropy and educa-

Alexander said. Nevertheless, the

apparent.

EOR many years the Standard
l. Oil Company Qndiana) has
been perfecting an organization
with the sole purpose of giving
the consuming public a maxi
mum of service at a minimum
of cost.
To do this, four large refneries
have been built and equipped;
300 bulk stations have been
placed at strategic points
throughout the II states served;
more than l, 300 service stations
have been located at convenient
points so that Standard Oil Com
pany Qndiana) products may
be obtained every few miles in
the country and every few
blocks in the city.
Fleets of tank wagons and motor trucks
are always in service ready to deliver
Red Crown Gasoline, Perfection Kero-
sene and other Standard Oil products to
consumers, wherever they may live.
In organizing this vast net work of
service, those responsible for the
management of the Company have had
two major objects in view; first, to
reduce the cost of manufacturing, mar
keting, and distributing to the lowest
point possible; second, to make prices
which would be fair to the consuming
public.
While mindful of the rights and privi-
1eges of its competitors, the Standard
Oil Company Qndiana) believes that its
first duty is to the consuming public.
During the present unsettled conditions
in the petroleum industry, this Com
pany has reduced the selling price of
its goods as rapidly as sound manage
ment would permit, and it proposes to
continue this practice.
This policy conforms to the established
practice of the Company of letting serv-
ice take care of volume, and volume
take care of profits and return to the
2O,621 stockholders, not one of whom
owns as much as 10 percent of the
capital stock.
