March 2.—Shortly after he bad obtained important evt deuce against, the Niagara border run: ring, Orville Preustcr. customs in spec-tor and leader of the federa government's crusade against liquo atyl narcotic smugglers, was instant ly killed by the explosion of a bornl that had been ingeniously placed in the transmission of his automobile. The blast that sent him to death and which caused serious injury to Elmer Whitacre, a friend, occurred when Preuster stepped on the start er. The customs inspector was kille: late Sunday in tho driveway of hi home. So terrific was tho explosion tba houses in tho vicinity trembled ant wipdows were broken. Whitacre, whi was standing on the runuing heart of the car, was blown forty feet anhospital officials held scant hope to his recovery. Police are confident that Presuter'f activities along the rum forntier form ed the motive for the death plot. In the wreckage of the car wat found a metal box, about au iiftli and a half square, containing a small spring. Thi% is believed to be part of the bomb that was secreted in the car some time during the night. A month ago Preuster and anothei agent had held up Pasquale Curione whom federal authorities regard a: leader of the bootleg ring. It is al leged Curione had $12,000 worth o liquor in his possession. It was ir connection with this case that Cur ione, now awaiting trial on a bribery charge, is alleged to jhave offered Preustcr 12.000 to “keep his mouth shut.” This is the fourth bomb plot here in the past two years, lu each case enemies of the rum ring were slated to be the victims.

The Service of I Economical I Management I “So far as the use of capital is concerned" H i says a Financial Expert in the Chicago Tribune H of February 11, 1925—“a cheapening of the ■ i product manufactured can. be expected only ■ i under economies of operation.” H The real problem of industry today is not H “who owns the capital invested?” but “how is ■ the capital operated?” B The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) invites H judgment based upon its operation of capital. ■ t This Company’s ideal of service is founded I . upon sound economies- of management. It be- ■ lieves that rigid economy alone can enable tbe ■ Company to manufacture and sell its products H , at a price which will allow people in all circum- ■ stances to use them in increasing quantities. ■ The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) believes I that capital should be used for the benefit ot the ■ t greatest number of people—that oil products ■ should be made available to all—that the price ■ of these products must be held down to permit ■ their universal enjoyment. B > An oil field is something created by nature—but nature is no economist. She places her 0 products where she finds conditions favorable, r with no thought for man’s'convenience. y Generally oil is found in remote regions—e discovered after great risk and rendered ao.es o sible and usable only through heavy expenditures t of money, and the application of experience, ingenuity, foresight ana thrift in the management t of industry. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) refines this oil into a multitude of products, which \. distributes so widely as to make them of univer- " sal benefit to humanity. 3 The basis of this service is economy. It lS 3 r- wise economy, too, which from long and sen soned experience dictates when to spend ana a when not to spend. Thrift rules and waste is u not tolerated. J. Through this fundamental service the ‘"tand- , . aid Oil Company (Indiana) operates the cap l <• _ of its stockholders in such away as. to increase and extend its power to serve humanity. l Standard Oil Cosipasy ( Indiana) i General Office: Standard Oil Buildi”* j S.to So.
