Sixty percent of the new cars sold in the
ten states served by the Standard Oil
Company Qndiana) during 1920 were
bought by farmers. These figures indicate
one reason why the demandfor petroleum
products was SO insistent in this territory.
The farmer had to conserve his time, and
the automobile was the only solution for
this problem.
Another reason was the increase of auto
motive machinery on the farm, for these
machines were the deciding factor which
insured the phenomenal crops harvested
during 1920.
The efficiency of this motor driven equip
ment was due in large measure to the
efficiency of the Standard Oil Company
Qndiana) system of distribution, which
assured the farmer that his needs would
be supplied and his time conserved.
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana) is
