THE price of gasoline is high when compared to the price asked five years ago, but the price would be much higher if it were not for the long list of useful products made from that portion of the crude which is left after the gasoline and refined oils have been removed. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) makes a wide range of product from this residue—each product rendering a definite useful service to mankind, and each bearing its share of the cost of • production, thereby helping to keep down the price you pay for gasoline. * The petroleum chemists in the labratories of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) constantly are at work trying to develop new processes which will enable the Company to utilize every fraction of the crude oil, thus eliminating waste. i This means husbanding the country’s resources by taking from the crude oil the maximum number of useful products, and recovering a maximum yield of each. To do this is the constant aim of the company. Standard Oil Company ( Indiana ) 910 So. Michigan Ave., Chicago, 111.
