A TwoFisted Job many years the Standard Oil H Company (Indiana) has been perfectA ing an organization with the sole purpose of giving the consuming public a maximum of service at a mininum of cost. To do this, four large refineries have been built and equipped; 3,700 buik stations have been placed at strategic points throughout the 11 steles served; more than 1,300 service stations have been Leafed at convenient points so that Standard Oil Company (Indiana) products may be ! obtained every few miles in the country and every few blocks in the city. Fleets of tank wagons and motor trucks are always in service readyriio deliver Red Crown Gasoline, Perfection Kerosene and other Standard Oil products to consumers, wherever they may live. In organizing this vest net work of service, those responsible for the management of the Company have had two major objects in view; first to reduce the cost of manufacturing, marketing and distributing to the lowest point possible; second, to make prices which would bo fair to the consuming public. While mindful of the rights and privileges of its competitors, the Standard Gil Company (Indiana) believes that its first duty is to the consuming public. During the present tiTetiled conditions in the petroleum industry, this Company l aa reduced the selling price of its goods as rapidly as sound management would permit, and it proposes to continue this practice. This policy conforms to the established practice of the Company of letting service take care of volume, ana volume take care of profits and return to the 20,621 stockholders, not one of whom owns as much as 10 per cent of the capital stock.

Incident* lending and following the Rhot which frightened the robbers from the hank and the drive to the north, were related to the court and jury. Vp to the lime of going to press the state had produced no evidence which in any way seemed damaging to Cole, and It was the general belief that lie would be acquitted.
