Contracts On Four Bridges Awarded Today (Continued from page one) ;md have seen many years of service. Heavy traffic and the fact that the abutments were not placed as deep : as they are novv-a-days makes it im- • possible for the bridges to hold up ’ under the traffic and high waters. The bridges will be repaired or new ones built as stjon as possible. Work on Alpha Bridge Tlie work of constructing the Alpha bridge in Root township is well under way.

Monopoly? No! MONOPOLY is abhorrent to the mindi of the American people and will not be toler , ated by them. er ‘ Monopoly means arbitrary control; it means cur. tailing opportunities for the individual and such cur' tailment strikes at the root of American institution! The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is American to the core. It has no desire to achieve a monopoly, believing that, because of its carefully worked out plan-cf organization, its admitted efficiency in every department and its carefully trained, hard, working, loyal body of employees, it has no need for arbitrary control to meet any competitive condition which may arise. The detailed service, the insistence upon quality and the consistently fair price at which its products are sold, insure the Company its fair share of the business in ten Middle Western States where it ii organized for service, No organization can acquire a monopoly in the oil business. The source of supply of raw material is too scattered and its value is too great for any one company to get an effective control. Without such control monopoly is impossible. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is the largest sipgle factor in the oil business of the Middle West Yet, the principal source of its crude oil supply is in the hands of others. Its competitors have twice as many service stations as it has, and about an equal number of bulk stations, while their combined refining capacity is more than five times that of the Standard Oil Company To indicate the futility of attempting to monopolize the oil industry it is only necessary to quote the following paragraphs from the New York Journal of Commerce: During 1921 there were organized 936 new oil companies, with a total capitalization of $1,255,675,000 and During 1922. 784 new oil companies wgre organized with a capitalization of sl, 639,693,000. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is growing as the need for its products and service grows. It is ambitious, not to secure a monopoly of the oil business, but, to maintain a steady, healthy growth, by - rendering the greatest service possible to thirty million people in the Middle West.
