CRUDE OIL down,
GASOLINERISES
Retail Prices Climbed With
Greater Stocks on Hand,
Says Committee
IN
CENTERED CONTROL

] WASHINGTON. Aug. 9b.-Unitet
Press) Retail gasoline prices hav-
climbed steadily during the past two
years, while crude oil costs. sub
Jeot to violent fluctuations have de-
creased.
Available stocks OF gasoline and
oil have increased during the same
period but have tended TO ooncen-
trate in the hands OF a few social
ed Standard oil groups.
Independent OIL producers of the
nation face disaster because OF the
manipulations of crude oil prices
which have decreased seemingly,
without Justification from $3.50 10
S1.25 a barrel.
These were the features of the
preliminary report of the special
Senate sub committee investigating
the nations oil industry. presented
by Chairman McNary today. Fur
ther hearings will be held shortly.
he said.
The purpose OF the report was to
set forth facts regarding production
and oil prices. and no attempt TO ex-
plain the relationships or reasons
for price advances will be made
until further investigation by COM
mittee Is completed McNary an
nounoed.
"It will be observed that while
the recent out IN crude oil Is re-
fiected TO some exent in lower
gasoline prices, still gasoline prices,
both { o. b. refinery and tank wagon
prices. are higher than they we're
during a considerable portion Of the
period when crude oil was selling at
50 n barrel (from December 1921,
10 August 1929" the report stated.
1T may be said in explanation
that gasoline is still being manu-
faotured by the larger concerns from
the stocks OF high-priced crude on
hand at the time of the recent out
in crude was made. II this explain
alton IS correct and the proper pro-
portion existed between the SO crude
and the price Of gasoline produced
from II then Il would seem reason
able to expect a further lowering OF
the price Of gasoline as a result OF
cutting OF the price Of crude from
50 10 s125 a barrel"
Wide fluctuations IN crude OIL
prices were noted in the report.
when It is remembered that
more than half OF the crude oil OF
the country Is produced by those
thousands OF small Independent pro-
ducers who have no part in the in
dustry except to bring oil 10 the !
surface and sell It at the market or |
posted price II Is easy 10 see that |
these sudden and violent iuctua-
tions must epen disaster for these
producers"
Another tendency in the industry
In the last two years It was stated
was the accumulation OF oil stocks in
comparatively few hands.
ut appears that of tho total
stocks Of crude oil in the United
States at the end OF May, So per
cent was held by standard group
and that the same group held about
rs per cent. OF the gasoline. 72 per
cent. OF the kerosene. and SO per !
sent. OF the gas and fuel OIL" stated

The average daily rate OF con-
OF gasoline figured on a
monthly basis from January TO May
u the present year was 12,5O0,2Ss

Now as to economy

ECONOMY is not only a matter Of saving. 1t consists
Aalso Of spending money to best advantage. You can
often add materially to the effectiveness Of your uchasesby
reading the advertisements in this paper.
Advertising identifies goods Of mquestioned value. When
a store OF a manufacturer puts his name on a product and tells
you about it, you may rest .ssured that it is worth while.
1t does not pay to advertise merchandise that is not sound.
The comebacks are too costly.
Make a practice of reading advertisements. Read them
as news from the business world, published for y.lr benefit.
Sometimes, they keep you from making an unwise purchase
by pointing out just why one aricle suits your needs better
than another. A step toward real economy!
Often, they help you live better and dress better and make
more Of your income in every way. Also, real economy.
And you will 6rd that they frequently save you money.
