Playing No Favorites THE crude petroleum market plays se favorites. AU refiners come to it OR equal terms. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to no exception to this rule, It buys the crude oil it needs to the open market and pays the market price. Only an infinitesimal part of the crude afl used by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) comes from wells in which it has even an indirect interest. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) concentrates its attention upon the highly specialised business of refining crude oil. It sticks to its knitting. = In the past four years the demand for the refined products of petroleum has more than doubled, while the increase in the production of crude has been only about 25 percent. This growing demand, plus the increased cost of drilling and equipping wells, has caused the price of crude petroleum to advance. The market price of crude oil is a dominant factor in the price which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) charges for gasoline. Wherever possible the Company anticipates the trend of the market in making its con / tracts for crude petroleum. Whatever bentfits it derives accrues to the public in tower gasoline prices. The price charged by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) for. gasoline has advanced, but not to the extent warranted by the advance in the cost of crude oil.
