The Facilities for Distribution of the The Standard Oil Company , (Indiana) *• .■ ' ' '~. ... : . THE service whicfe, at all times, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is prepared to render its patrons, rests securely upon a solid foundation of complete distribution. To perfect a system which shall make every prochset manufactured by the’Company instantly available to anyone, any whore, any time, has been the goal toward which this Company has been working since the day of its organization. As yet this ideal has not been achieved; but the system as it stands is conceded to be the most perfect of its kind in the Corid. The present equipment for distribution, including grounds, buildings, storage tanks, motor trucks, wagons, etc., represents an investment of more than $30,000,000. There are 27 main stations where complete stocks of all products are kept on hand. Supporting these are the bulk stations located at 2881 carefully selected points in 11 states. These stations are equipped with storage tanka having a combined capacity of 86,113,650 gallons of gasoline, 66,115.300 gallons of kerosene, and 4,300,000 gallons of lubricating oils. It is necessary to carry this tremendous stock —total 156,528,950 gallons —at all times to insure quick, convenient service to the patrons of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) wherever they may be, regardless of transportation difficulties or weather conditions. To enable the Company to fulfill its obligations to patrons, and deliver to theni the products they require, it is necessary to maintain a fleet of 3700 motor trucks and a caravan of 3500 horse-drawn wagons, either active or in reserve. These tank wagons are so organized that they, at regular intervals, can reach 755?. of the homes in the territory at present served by this Company. * Supplementing, the wagons, an equipment of 530,000 iron barrets, representing an investment of more than $7,000,000, is kept in service to insure the safe delivery of oils and gasoline, even to those remote places where the dark-green tank wagon never has penetrated. For the convenience of the motoring a chain of 4300 service stations has been organized and many others are in the course of construction. These stations are prepared at all times to supply the motorist with his requirements of gasoline and lubricating oils in any quantity and atthe lowest - -- This, in outline, is the distribution system upon which the service of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) rests. It is the hope of. the Company that the 4 time is not far distant when no person in the territory served will be more than five or six miles from a Standard Oil Company (Indiana) service station if he lives in the country, or more than one mile away if he lives in a town or city. t Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 9'lo So.
