THE National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce announces that SIX
= million cattle, hogs, and sheep were
shipped by motor truck, from farms and
feed lots to stockyards, during 1920;
most of them we're moved in the
territory served by the Standard Oil
Company Qndiana).
Before the advent of the motor truck,
the farmer drove his cattle to the load
ing station, and hauled his hogs in the
small, slow moving, horse-drawn wagons.
This practice called for a great eX-
penditure of time and labor, and caused
the animals to arrive in an Overheated
condition, which meant a heavy shrink
age and a consequent lower market
value. Today much of this loss is elimi-
mated by the quicker, more efficient
method of TRANSPORTATION. Middle West
farmers have come to look upon the
motor truck as a dependable, economical
aid in the prompt and profitable
marketing of their live stock.
Byreason fits comprehensive system
for distributing gasoline and other
petroleum products, the Standard Oil
Company Qndiana) has been potent
factor in stabilizing the use of the
motor truck on the farms throughout
the Middle West.
Whether the farmer lives on a main
Travelled highway, or on remote cross
road, he depends upon the dark. green
tank wagon of the Standard Oil Com
pany Qndiana to supply his needs.
The dependability of Standard Oil Com
pany Qndiana) service is recognized by
the farmers of the Middle Vest the
most important food-producing area in
the world.
In supplying the petroleum needs of
the farmer, the Standard Oil Company
Qndiana) is rendering service of signal
importance to every inhabltant of the
territory served. A dependable supply
of gasoline means dependable supply
of food.
Such service is possible only because
the Board of Directors of the Standard
Oil Company appreciate their respon-
sibility to the public, and because
$4,000 men and women who make up
this organization realize the weight of
this responsibility and the importance
of their Individual tasks.
While the equipment of the Standard
Oil Company (1ndiana is vast and COM

which makes for efficiency. The mere
physical equipment would be impotenti In
