Where Gasoline Prices Stand QL product* have advanced in price more slowly than any other products.

On December 31, 1919, the price of crude had advanced to $3.51 per barre), f. o. b. Wbitipg, and the sailing price of gasoline to 21c per gallon. In other words this Company is paying two and onehalf timeo as much for crude oil as it was in .1913, but because of Ha more efficient refining methode it is able to sell gasoline to you for lees than one half more than was charged at that time.

Every cost entering into the making of gasoline has risen immensely. The cost of crude, the cost of refining, and the cost of marketing are all greater than ever before. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) by superior efficiency in every process of refining and distributing has contributed in no small degree to hold the price of gasoline down to its present level. Every man in the manufacturing end of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is keenly alive to the pressing necessity for an increased output of gasoline at a minimum manufacturing coot. ' The ideal toward which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is striving, is to put Red Crown, a gasoline of known, standard quality, within the reach of motorists everywhere in the Middle West, at a price so low as to make possible the free use of that 25 percent increase in automotive vehicles which is anticipated for 1929.

The shop shown In the picture is located In the negro section of Richmond, Va. Similar Institutions for all races and creeds are found In practically every one of the larger cities tn the United States. ।
