Think of Oil i n Terms of 1923 JN considering the oil business as it today, we must think and not m terms of 1913 ’TCh* 8 before such unheard of ■ ji®pe6& given to the automotive industry. In 1913 there were but 1,287,000 vehicles registered in the United State, while the year ending December 31 no? saw a total registration of 12,239.114 -7J increase of 900%. an The magnitude of the oil business it , 0 vast that no man can visualize it clearly It is difficult to picture the needs of 12/ million automobiles, to say nothing of the vast gallonage needed to supply tractor, stationary gas engines, and the demand for gasoline coming from the arts and in. dustries generally. “ The problem of supplying 12K million cars is quite different from the problem confronting the industry a decade ago when but IX million cars were in commission. The adaptation to a changing situation meant the making over of the petroleum industry. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has retained its leadership by' expanding its facilities both in the manufacture and distribution rapidly enough to meet the insistent demand for greater service. During the past ten years the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has grown as the need for its products and service has grown. This ever-increasing demand for petroleum products has made it necessary tor the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to expand itsfa il'ties to an extraordinary degree. Yet, with its multiplied facilities, the Company fin' l ? that all its energies are absorbed in meeting the demand for its products from 30 million people in the ten Middle Western States it serves. While proud of the service it ha? rendered in the past, the Standard Oil Ccmc::7 today is thinking in term? of 1°?? the years to come. Standard Oil Conipam (Indiana) 910 S.
