Porter’s Grocery Lincoln Said: “We Cannot Escape History” s The history of the successful man invariably proves that he has been systematic in “money matters.” ' He is a man who not only has a Savings Account with a strong bank, but whose thrift extends still farther—he has a Checking Account. » The man with the checking account eliminates waste, prevents mistakes and has a record ot expenditures as well as an indisputable receipt for every bill he pays. We invite both classes of accounts and assure a helpful, friendly service in your financial affairs. The Peoples Loan & Trust Co. Bank of Service Protecting the Consumer The flow of crude oil is uncertain. It follows, therefore, that the resulting supply of gasoline is unsteady. The most essential feature of the broad and comprehensive service rendered by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) in the ten Middle Western states is to turn an uncertain flow of crude oil frito ' a steady, dependable supply of gasoline. Reliability of supply is the vital need of the millions of automobiles whirling over the hills and the tens of thousands of factories whirring in every great metropolitan center. Consumers, too frequently, think of crude oil in terms of gushers. They do not realize that the gusher is only a temperamental display of nature and utterly unreliable for the purpose of doing the world's work. Only through vast storage facilities, maintained at great expense by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana 1 and other companies in the oil industry, can the motorist rely on a dependable supply of gasoline and lubricants for his car during the lyight of the touring season. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has a huge investment in farms of steel storage tanks, located at strategic points throughout its territory. These enormous tanks, filled to capacity in the off-season, are mute guarantors of a dependable supply in the rush season. The experience of 1923 is indicative of just how expensive is maintenance of oil storage. During that year the prices of crude petroleum were changed 105 days out of 365, due to fluctuations in production. From April to December every price change was a reduction —this period covering the heaviest motoring season of the year. When it is considered that the oil in storage in April went in during the off-season, before the decline in price, it is evident that storage imposes a heavy burden on oil companies. I Holding crude oil and refined oil in storage is merely one of many items of enormous expense that are necessary to complete the cycle of service rendered by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). That these expenses are reflected but slightly in -3 gasoline prices is due to the scientific efficiency entering into all the operations of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana'.
