Motor Truck Lowers Farm Costs Milin MW I iMMimMvi farmer of the Middle West is a business man who utilizes every labor or time-saving device to increase his profits. That’s why the farmer is coming to be the heaviest buyer of motor trucks. At "seeding time he hauls his seed to the field, thus economizing hand labor; at harvest time he hauls his grain, potatoes, and other produce, to market, and distance being a less prohibitive factor, is able to secure better prices; and all through the year he hauls his live-stock chickens to market, and is able to deliver them in better condition, and with a minimum of shrinkage. These are a few reasons why the farmer finds the motor truck profitable. It must be apparent, then, that in no other part of the nation is rural distribution of petroleum products quite so important as in the states served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). These are the farming states which supply not only the Middle West but the entire nation with food. The ten states served by this Company are well termed the bread-basket of the nation. To be of economic service to the farmer, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) maintains throughout the territory it serves a complete chain of bulk stations, , with tank wagons for delivery throughout the rural - districts. The farmer has come to know that he can depend upon this service even under most trying conditions. That busy, dark green tank wagon serve, the farmer with all the faithfulness with which the milk wagon and the ice wagon serve the flat dweller in the city. The comprehensive distribution system of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is geared to service at the lowest possible cost. The money thus saved through arge scale operation is passed on to the consumer by reasrnnble tank wagon prices throughout the territory serv cd. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) t 910 So.
