Prosperity and Gasoline Genuine prosperity is with us when all men are employed creating new wealth—new merchandise—which is passed to the consuming public at prices which give them full value for the money spent. New wealth is active wealth and active wealth, like active labor, is that which is employed making the world a better, happier place in which to live. The man who owns an oil well is not prosperous unless there is an active demand for his oil. The mere possession of oil signifies nothing-it is of no profit. It is valuable only when it is put to use. The main function of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is to make oil usable and to put the finished products where people can get them without effort. Bv bringing oil products within the reach of everyone, at prices low enough to make them available to all, this Company creates new wealth and makes it active and usable. A gallon of gasoline manufactured by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has a definite economic value, because it represents a potential service when put to use in a running motor. The nower—the service—latent in this gasoline will propel your car 8 to 22 miles in the pursuit of business or pleasure. In using it you derive pleasure or profit—or both—and by using it you are adding to the general prosperity—by releasing a def inite amount of capital for further use. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) serves ,nn S through its scientific discoveries, through its progressive use of chemical knowfedge through its efficient refinery Hing fabopolicy. and through the high Sty and wide distribution of its products. All these functions of the Standard Oil gasoline The man who drives a Ford 0 the immense resources of this “Sahon as truly as does the man who operates a feet of trucks. Standard Oil Company
