The seed is sown, crops.grow and are harvested according to that law. A man pours himself out in usefulness and his fellows honor him—a business house I serves it customers efficiently and success I comes to it. If you want something—a car—house—financial independence —remember first the seed, next the crop, then the har- I vest. Once started the going is easy—ss.oo a week saved in an I interest drawing account will mean $1,000.00 in about three years and six months! Learn the law, work in harmony with it and what you I want in life is yours—Savings Accounts opened any day from ten to three. Old Adams County Bank

1924 vs. 1913 IN THE advertising columns of this paper, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has stated repeatedly that the price of gasoline is low, and particularly so by comparison with the price of other products. To confirm the truth of these statements, your critical attention is directe d to the table below compiled from statistics of the United States Bureau of Labor and Department of Commerce, showins? the price level of various commodities in January, 1924, as compared with that of 1913—taking the latter year as 100: Gasoline .... 97.0 frour . .... 1352 Potatoes .... 1402 Farm Products. . . 144.0 Milk 155.5 Butter . ... • • lfiß-7 House Furnishing Goods 1/b.O Building Material . . 181.0 Sugar 196.3 Cloth and Clothing. . 200.0 Average for all commodities 151 The average man has come to accept the fluctuation in the prices of milk, butter, sugar, potatoes, ami like products, as natural. i nis acceptance is so well-established and time* honored as to be a prosaic incident. The buying of gascline is relatively a new experience. The economical production of gasoline requires larcje investments —which are possible only with big institutions of vast capitalization. Because of this, the petroleum industry has come in for criticism that does nut fall to the lot of other industries. Tlie above bulletin prove? conclusively that the price of gasoline is low and that dollar in 1924 will buy mm* gasoline than it could in 1913. This demonstrates the <eihciency ot ti*troleum industry, in which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is proud of its position as a leader. This Company has earned .its leadership by the every day practice of fairness, equity and . justice to all— consumer, employe and competitor—in such a manner as to nave gaim'd the confidence, respect and “ the thirty million people of the Middle West.
