Situation in 1910 and Now IN 1910 there were approximately 400 thousand cars in the United States. To operate these cars there was available a gasoline production of 750 million gallons, or, approximately, 1875 gallons per car. In 1919 there were more than 7 million care and trad® operating in the United States. To supply these engines there was available, according to Bureau of Minoa Report, 3 billion, 957 million gallons of gasoline, or, approximately, 565 gallons per car. In neither case has consideration been given to the demand of tractors, stationary gas engines, or the gasoline required by the arts and. industries. Nor have we donsidered the large volume of this product shipped abroad annually. The above figures are presented so that yon may visualize one of the problems the petroleum industry has been called upon to solve in the past decade. In 1910 the Standard OU Company (Indiana) marketed about 20 percent of the gasoline output of the United States, or approximately 150 miHion gallons. Id 1919 this Company sold about 640 million gallons of gasoline, or about 17 percent of the total for that year. It has been the task of the 7 men who manage the affairs of the Standard OU Company (Indiana) for the 5124 stockholders, not one of whom owns as much as 19 percent of the total, to ex pand the organization not only to keep pace with, but to keep ahead of the extraordinary and persistent demand for gasoline. ■ , .... ■ - How weU they have succeeded is Ulustrated clearly by the fact that to the 10-year period above mentioned, the Standard OU Company (Indiana) has taken a leading part in increasing gasoline production 440 percent, while crude ov production increased only 94 percent.
