The Standard Oil Company and the (Indiana) Automobile Industry PROBABLY no existing industry serves such a useful purpose in so many ways as the automobile industry, and certainly no industry has had such a meteoric increase in proportions. Such an increase would have been impossible of accomplishment if a market for moderate priced cars had not been found, and without the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) it would have been impossible to find this market. When only the rich could afford an automobile the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) had the vision of most everyone driving his own machine. The Company set out, not to find away to make gasoline prices higher, but to keep them low in the face of the enormous demands made by the automobilists. which in the average industry would have caused abnormal increases in price. The efficiency of the Standard Oil Company in making a constantly increasing number of byproducts has kept down the price of gasoline and enabled the man of modest means to run an automobile after he got it. The Standard Oil Company not only makes gasoline to sell at a low price, but to fit the requirements of the modem automobile engine in such a manner as to enable the owner to get out of his car all that the manufacturer designed it to produce. « This is a salient example of the usefulness of the Standard Oil Company not only in contributing to the success of other industries, but in discharging its obligation as a public servant so that "alf may benefit from its efficiency and by its operations, Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 S.
