The Cycle of Service _ -••-■ 'T’ JT' ”. ’ ! In its issue of June, 1920, Petroleum Age says: “The announcement made May 25th, advancing the tank wagon prices of gasoline and kerosene in all Standard Oil Company (Indiana) territory was a disappointment to the oil men. They say the advance in the price of gasoline was less than was expected, or at least hoped for. The refiner is asking 23c for the cheapest straight-run, and this makes the cost to the jobber 25c . y • in Chicago- To this must be added 3c for the cost of doing business. As a result the new price is still too low for a profit on gasoline.” The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) distributes through tank wagons and service stations, completing the cycle of service from refiner to consumer. The present low price for gasoline in the Middle West is due in large measure to the efficiency of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) in refining and distributing its products. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana)' maintains an elaborate research department, which has enabled it to increase the amount of high grade gasoline obtainable from crude oil. The efficiency of the manufacturing department, plus the all but perfect system of distribution, enables the company to render an unique but necessary service to everyone in the Middle West who, either directly or indirectly, relies upon automotive machinery for power. > The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has maintained, and will continue to maintain, the lowest possible price- for petroleum products consistent with proper security to its stockholders.
