Public Approval Till Standard Oil Company (Indiana) stand* before the public squarely on it* merit* at an organization of service. In directing the affair* of th;* Company, the management is animated by ideal* of justice, fairness and equity to employee, consumer, competitor, stockholder and the general public. because it insist* that the rights of all should be safeguarded, the Company has prospered and has taken its place a* a leader in an essential industry. To achieve commercial success, profits are necessary Profits can come only through liberal patronage of the buying public. This public will not patronize an organization whose method* are unfair or unjust. Continued prosperity come* only to the Company which renders a superior service and sells honest merchandise at an honest price. To every fair-minded observer it must be obvious that hundreds of thousands of people are patronizing the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and are doing so because they have found by experience that the service rendered by this company is reliable and that the goods it sells are uniform and dependable, and that its price* are consistently fair. Figures recently published by the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce show that one-third of the automobile registrations are concentrated in the ten states served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) yet, the price of gasoline in this territory compares favorably with that in any similar section in the world. This low scale of prices is attributed to the efficiency of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Rv its ever increasing patronage the public places the stamp of its approval upon the efficiency of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). The acknowledged efficiency of this Company is due to the unfaltering loyalty of its 27,000 employees; to the high ideals of service which the management has inaugurated and insists upon maintaining: to the unequalled facilities which this Company has provided for carrying on the business. The loyalty of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) employee is based upon the knowledge that this Company recognizes the rights of the worker to steady employment at good wages; to a liberal annuity plan; to protection against accident, and to opportunity to invest in the Company’s business on favorable terms. Because of this efficiency, recognized and approved by the public the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is able to pay to the stockholders a fair return on the capital invested, and to build up a sufficient reserve to enable it to expand its business to keep pace with the public need.
