1T is in caring for the needs
of its patrons, be they big
Il or little, which stamps the
Standard Oil Company Indiana)
as a service organization of the
first order.
Whether the product be a major
one, as for instance, gasoline, or
one of the highly refined motor
oils, or a secondary one, such as
Standard Road Oil, facilities
have been provided by which
the patron, wherever he may
live, may get what he wants
with as little delay as possible,
and at a minimum of expense.
For many years Standard Road Oil
has been used by communities and in
dividuals in providing a semi hard sur
face to highways. Roads so treated
are dustless, are not SO easily affected
by rains, and carry heavier load with
less power than is possible where
plain dirt roads, however well cared
for, are used.
Recently it has been apparent that
many want to use this dust preventive
on the roads about their homes. Some
need but single barrel; others two
or three, but these small amounts
they want badly.
AS soon as it became apparent that
there was demand for Standard Road
Oil in small quantities, the Company
assigned to this product sufficient
number of iron barrels to care for the
trade. These barrels are not sold but
are used merely to transport the oil;
to be returned as soon as they can be
emptied.
By thus cooperating with it's patrons,
the Company can furnish small guam
titles of Standard Road Oil at a mini
mum price, and the user can get it in
quantities of one barrel or thousand
barrels, without having to pay for the
container.
This is but one of the many ways in
which the highly specialized organiza-
ton of the Standard Oil Company
(Indiana) serves the public, individually
and collectively, to the profit of ALL
