Vehicles of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana)
crossed SO $4,000 railroad crossings during 1925,
and travelled nearly two billion miles with but one
fatal railroad crossing accident.
These statistics tell part of the story of the STAN
dard Oil Company Qndiana) safety campaign.
They reveal the astonishingy successful results of
this Company's persistent effort to reduce motor
accidents.
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana) has forn1u-
lated Safety Rules requiring the exercise OF extreme
care and caution at all times. But the Safety Rules
alone not responsible for Its extraordinary sue
cess In eliminating accidents.
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana) believes that
the success of its safety campaign is due to the
attitude of its drivers toward their work The
educational program of the safety department has
been designed to develop and strengthen that
attitude >.
Standard Oil Company Ondiana) drivers in
common with all other Standard Oil Company
Ondiana) employees realize that courtesy and
thoughtfulness of others are the very foundations
of Standard Oil Company Qndiana) service.
Careful driving becomes, then, merely an extension
of the ordinary courtesy and thoughtfulness that
are practiced every day m all the various activities
of the Standard Oil Company Qndiana).
Drivers of Company trucks take pride m their
traffic ability They appreciate the responsibility

Taking chance at railroad crossing, orany other
reckless act, is regarded evidence incompetence
and disloyalty.

A Standard Oil Company Qndnra) driver realizes

too great to justify that trlst-and no excuse valid

This attitude Of Standard on Company Cndana)
drivers toward their work has made the enforce

simple matter.
It is this attitude that has made possible the record
of 36,84O,OOO railroad crossings In 1925 with but
