Consider Your Clothes HAVE you ever stopped to think of the part petroleum plays in converting raw material into the fabrics which are used to make your suit of clothes? From the wool on a sheep’s back to the clothes on your back is a long journey and petroleum shortens it at every step. By machinery lubricated with petroleum, a man may shear from 175 to 200 fleeces a day. By the old method, 50 fleeces would be considered a big day’s work. After leaving the sheep, the wool passes through ten major processes before it is ready for the tailor. Each of these require the use of intricate machinery, having bearings which run at speeds varying from 350 to 12,000 revolutions per minute. iFrom the clipper to the last finishing machine, a diversity of mechanical conditions exist, each of which has been studied and experimented with,and alubricant found which I meets exactly the needs of the machinery. In solving these lubricating problems, and manufacturing oils and greases which enable these machines to perform their work, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) always has been among the leaders. Its staff of carefully trained chemists, refiners, and lubricating engineers are constantly at work, devising new and more efficient means of reducing friction. This Company computes its success not wholly upon its balance sheets, not wholly upon the number of useful products it manufactures, but rather upon the fact that many of the useful products of petroleum are made from material which otherwise would be wasted, and are made by processes which were evolved in the Company’s laboratories.
