Liie chief characteristic of this . g> which has a personality shared wlth no other type, is that it never depart, «« a strictly tailored treatlent AH the neat finishing and detail that ar eassociated with the cloth ...lored frock are borrowed for the “Ked metal dress, and there Its . identity rests. These dresses should be increasing- ‘ w important this coming season because th. v coincide so completely with the promotion of metals, which clearly on the fashion horizon, in comparing the construction of the dress with the tailored cloth, the comparison should have gone further —namely, that the choice of the metal continues to emphasize neat patterns nhe tweed checks. One of the newest ideas tends to combine the effect of a checked pattern with a mesh construction The reappearance of the fur bordered gown at one or two of the French houses makes it even more likely that the metal •'tailored" dress will be revived.

Ready for Tomorrow Today The h istory of t ho Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is a romance of achievement. In the beginning it served the pioneer—it was one of them, sharing their dangers and hardships. Always, in its zest for scientific exploring, in its eagerness to push ahead into unknown realms of knowledge, in its willingness to meet and conquer difficulties —in its readiness to pay the price of proggress —this Company has proved itself a true pioneer. • The story of its development of gasoline will illustrate. Gasoline at first was an undesirable by-product of petroleum, unavoidably obtained in the manufacture of kerosene. Then came ttie automobile and men needed gasoline more than kerosene. The demand increased so rapidly that it appeared certain that the earth could not yield sufficient crude oil to soppiy the millions of motor cars. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) met the situation by increasing the yield of gasoline from crude petroleum by developing "cracking" processes, thus initiating an entirely new method of refining, x The importance of this scientific pioneering to modern automobile transportation is suggested by the Amertcan Petroleum Institute. “Without the supply of gasoline obtained from •cracking’ operations, the use of automobiles could probably not ha\e expanded to its present proportions for lack of fuel.” This statement is supported with statistics to show that "cracked" gasoline supplied fuel for 8,600,000 motor vehicles in 1926. Anticipating the development of a new type of automobile engine having higher compression, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) introduced Red Crown Ethyl in the Middle West —a gasoline that gives the advantages of high compression to any engine. Stanolind Aviation Gasoline is another pioneer product. This Company, recognizing the practical possibilities of commercial aviat ion, developed special products for airplane engines. It was the first organization in the j»ctroleum industry to buy an airplane for use of its officials. In the manufacture of every product, in every phase of its work, in every part of its organization, this Company is a perpetual pioneer, searching always for bettor ways of doing things, seeking always to improve old products and to develop new ones as new needs arise. • The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has the long perspective of a corporation whose life is not measured by the lix es oFmen. Its solid strength is the result of years of achievement. To the past it looks with respect for the wisdom long ex[>erienoe teaches. To tne future it looks with the viaion of the pioneer.
