Woman’s Statement Will Help Decatur “I hated cooking because all 1 ate turned sour and formed gas. I drank hot water and olive oil by the gal-’ lon. Nothing helped until I took Adlerika.” Unless due to deep-seated causes, Adlerika helps any case gas on the stomach in a surprisingly QUICK time, it is a wonderful remedy to use for constipation—it often works in one hour and never gripes.

Who Are the Capitalists Behind the Standard Oil Company? (Indiana) THE capital which enables the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to function efficiently in service to the public is provided by 49,804 shareholders who have invested in the Company’s Capital Stock. These people come from all walks of life. They are bankers and wage earners, farmers, lawyers —your milkman, perhaps the laundryman—people of every type. Os these stockholders 14,773 are active employes of the Company. Nearly all their stock holdings are small — not one owns as much as 6% of the whole. Yet, these small individual investments—which alone could adiieve next to nothing—when united under the direction of capable managers, provide the capital which enables the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to supply gasoline and oils to you and to millions of other people in ten rich asd populous states. The widow, the orphan, the merchant, the farmer, the professional and laboring man, find here a safe investment for their savings. These small sums —ineffectual alone—-when combined constitute the backbone of big business. And this is Capitalism! Collier’s Weekly, in a recent editorial, says: “Society was formerly divided into two classes: Men of Millions—the Capitalists; and Millions of Men—the Public. But the Millions of Men are rapidly being graduated into the ranks of Men of Millions. Examine the lists of stockholders of big corporations. Millions of Men now own Big Business.” Capitalism is merely the modern way of meeting the needs of our highly complex civilization. The vast scope of the oil industry requires a large investment of capital. It takes huge sums to maintain great refineries, oil depots, tank wagons, service stations and other facilities for manufacture and distribution. The only way to attract this capital is to encourage small investors to buy snares in the business, by showing them that such investment is safe and profitable. This, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has done. The great service institution which you know as the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is able, by reason of such capital, properly directed, to bring the products of petroleum to you, thus enabling you and millions of others to enjoy the freedom of rapid, flexible individual transportation.
