Pumphrey Jewelry Store Brunswick Phonographs and Records —“ ■ l— ■ "" 9 The Fourth Essential After food, clothing and shelter, the most imperative need of civilized society is transportation—quick, dependable, efficient transportation of persons and products. After the railroad, whose sphere of activities is circumscribed by the location of tracks and terminals, the most important transportation unit is the automobile, truck or other automotive conveyances. These machines know no limitations. They can go wherever the need for transportation exists. To keep them in action; to make it possible for them to operate under all and every condition, two things are necessary —fuel and lubricating oil. Sensing this need, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) long ago began building distribution depots and service stations, at convenient intervals, throughout ten Middle Western states, from which the car owner could secure his requirements of gasoline and lubricants in such quantities as serve him best. To supply these outlets, enormous investments have been made enlarging the refining facilities of the Company and millions more have been spent getting the refined products to points where effective, economical distribution can be made. Throughout the ten states where Standard Oil Company (Indiana) service is organized and in operation, the motorist will find a station every few miles in the country; every few blocks in the city. At these stations he can secure his gasoline and lubricants highest quality at the lowest market prices and he has at his command free air, free water, rest rooms and comfort station’s. Conveniently located throughout the territory served, these stations are practical symbols of the effort this Company is making to adequately serve a community of thirty million people.
