THE National Automobile Chamber of Commerce announces that six million cattle, hogs, and sheep were shipped by motor truck, from farms and feed lots to stockyards, during 1920; most of them were moved in the territory served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Before the advent of the motor truck, the farmer drove his cattle to the loading station, and hauled his hogs in the small, slow-moving, horse-drawn wagons. This practice called for a great expenditure of time and labor, and caused the animals to arrive in an overheated condition, which meant a heavy shrinkage and a consequent lower market value. Today much of this loss is eliminated by the quicker, more efficient method of transportation. Middle West farmers have come to look upon the motor truck as a dependable, economical aid in the prompt and profitable marketing of their live stock. By reason of its comprehensive system for distributing gasoline and other petroleum products, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been a potent factor in stabilizing the use of the motor truck on the farms throughout the Middle West. Whether the farmer lives on a main traveled highway, or on a remote cross road, he depends upon the dark green tank wagon of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to supply his needs. The dependability of Standard Oil Company (Indiana) service is recognized by the farmers of the Middle West —the most important food-producing area in the world. In supplying the petroleum needs of the farmer, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is rendering a service of signal importance to every inhabitant of the territory served. A dependable supply of gasoline means a dependable supply of food. Such service is possible only because the Board of Directors of the Standard Oil Company appreciate their responsibility to the public, and because 25,000 men and women who make up this organization realize the weight of this responsibility and the importance of their individual tasks. While the equipment of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is vast and complete, it is the spirit of the personnel which makes for efficiency. The mere physical equipment would be impotent in the hands of the passive or inexperienced. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 So. Michigan Ave. f Chicago, 111.
