The people of the fiddle West are responsible for the size of this Company. They have encouraged its growth by demandwig its pniducts in everincreasing quantities. The size of the Company ' has increased in proportion to the service required of it. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been working for years with one definite, conscious pur- ’ pose—to serve to the test of its ability, the people of the Middle West. Its singleness of purpose and its faithfulness to that purpose have be n recognized and appreciated. Constantly and steadily demands for its products have multiplied. This is the best proof of appreciation that could be had. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) operates in a highly competitive field. People buy its products because they know they will get full value for their money. People go out of their way to find its Service Stations beeaose they I now they will receive the attention of men who net only are skilled to serve them, but who are intensely interested d in serving them >icH. • | A feeling of mutual respect has grown up betv een j this Company and the people of the Middle West. By a dependability that never varies, by an ho;« t v of purpose that never changes, the Standard (il I Company (Indiana) has proved itself worthy of trust. By a growing demand for its service, the public I has shown its appreciation. This, in turn, has ! created an increased sense of responsibility on the part of the Company. It is a big job the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has to do today. It must fuel and lubricate millions of motor cars and a fast growing number of airplanes. Industries in ten great Middle Western states must be supplied with petroleum products. Wheels on the farms, in the homes and the factories require many highly specialized lubricants, which have teen developed to fill the many various requirements. Hundreds of other products must be manufactured to fill hundreds of other human needs and to share the costs of production with the major products making low prices possible. Manufacturing is not all of the job. This Company has built up a vast system of distribution reaching all comers of the Middle West making its e service as convenient to the farmer in a remote rural section as to the city person. It is a big job the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has to do t<Mlay—serving the 30 million I people of the Middle West. Work that is worth the doing! All of the 29,000 employes of the Company feel the same way about it. Only their test will do! Standard Oil Company (Indiana) General Office: Standard Oil Building 910 So. Michigan Aveane.
