A QUIZ BASED ON THS ANNUAL RIPORT JUST ISSUED BY THE STANDARD OIL COMPANY (INDIANA) Q Moat of you may know little about ua eaccpt that nearly everywhere you ordinarily drive your car you can roll up to a Standard Oil pump and say ’Till 'er up!" But, because what we do affects your life in eo many other ways, we'd like to take you behind the acenes to *ee some of the things we've heen doing of late. We think it might prove more intcreeting to do it in the form of a quix-which won’t be any great brain-twister, aa the answers are jH directly below the queetions. Ba

We market in 15 of these states under the Standard .Oil name. • mi* How does Standard of Indiana com pare in size witk otter oil compaim ? Tlierc are larger oil companies and smaller ones, but it's generally known, of course, that ours is one of the largest .To bring you high grade petroleum products, wherever and whenever you want them, takes almost I unit lean facilities and equipment, and the skill and experience of many people. America needs big business as well as small, so long as competition is fair. We think ours has been fair. It must have been, for there are many more small competing companies in our territory, doing very nicely, than there were earlier in our history. •I. Just tew large is Standard if Indiana's business T In terms of crude oil and refined products sold in 1945, it totaled 215,000,000 barrels. Transportation of this made a lot of buiiness for pipe line men, railway men and truckers. And it provided the stock in trade for 27,765 small businessmen, the independent operators of service stations handling our products. Similarly, our payments, in connection with crude oil produced and purchased, were a source of income to thousands of land owners and independent oil producers. I.

"Penrod, ,r and “Monsieur Beaucaire." His play "The .Man From Home" was n Broadway success. .Many of ills books were made into movies, and Tarkington, who earned almost nothing In the first Ave years of Ips career, became rich. His home here was an art collector’s paradise, for the shy. unassuming author loved art as well »• literature. His collection of both paintings and okjets d'art was among the finest in the country.

Although widely traveled, Tarkington spent moat of his life In Indiana He often said he liked to travel, but that he was “A Hoosier first.” He said he never attained snceese until he began writing about Indiana and Its people. Indianapolis, he said, was a “part of myself.” The mild-mannered gentleman of letters was Imm in Indianapolis July 29, 1H69, the son of John Stevenson and Elisabeth Tark< Ington. He married Laurel lawIsa Fletcher of Indlanaptdis on June 18, 1902. They were divorced and be married Hosannah Robinson of Dayton, O„ in 1912.

If we hadn't operated on a big, efficient, and economical scale, you wouldn't have been able to buy that gallon of gasoline for about the price of a pack of cigarettes N* •I.

In 1945, we reI ceived for crude oil, products, etc., >627,626,612. Out of each dollar, the owners of the

slgF

business—the stockholders—received only 3.7 cents. It took 57 cents of each Standard Oil (Indiana) dollar to pay for materials, transportation, and operating costa; 19.2 cent* were paid to employees (including employee benefits); 15.5 cents went for texes, depreciation and other costa; and 4.4 cents were retained for development of the business. I). Why was more RiMey retiißte iR the business thM was pM out hi dMteßte? Because we must spend about $150,000,000, this year if possible, to make improvements we couldn’t make during the wu and to build new equipment needed to keep pace with technological progress. Such expenditures give the public better products and service, support the jobs of employees, and make investments in our business moresecure. 7* How mmiy people owr Stateard ON Iteiena ?
