The Keynote ONLY that which is worth while can survive. The world has no place for a fifth wheel. Production is the keynote of this progressive age. The mainspring in the affairs of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is the production of service. No word in the English language ever has been misused, so glibly, as the word Service’ . In the Standard Oil Company (Indiana)“Service” is interpreted exactly as Webster defines it —“ Ihe performance of labor for the benefit of another.” The job of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is a dual one —manufacturing and marketing. The Manufacturing Department of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has developed a large number of primary products from the single base —crude petroleum; each one performing a useful and essential service. Many of these primary products have been adapted to meet different conditions so that in reality this Company produces hundreds of products from a single base. This we interpret as a major service. The marketing Department of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has built up a system of distribution so comprehensive that the man living at a cross road in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan or in the mountainous regions of Southwestern Missouri is as sure of a constant supply of Standard Oil products as is the man living in the city. The farmer, harvesting his crops, can have Standi ard Oil Company (Indiana) products delivered to r him in the field if he needs them. The man who wants a quart of oil receives the same degree of painstaking attention as the man who buys a barrel. The service the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is nor of efle “fair weather” brand -—it is sustained —it endures —it is big. Service is what has made the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) big, and by the same token, it is bigness that has made Standard Oil Company (Indiana) service possible. i Not alone bigness as relates to size but bigness in vision; bigness in reducing vision to practical terms of usefulness for the lasting benefits of mankind and the world at large. 1 Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 So.
