Steel dropped to but quickly recovered a half. Other industrial were steady around the preVRius close. Maxwell “A” reached a newy 1924 high at 70. reflecting the belief that action wjll be taken t with regard to placing the issue on an f8 dividend basis. Buying of Steel commons by Shearson, Hammill and Company and Clark, Dodge and Company houses which frequently act for interests identified with the corporation's management, continued as the most impressive feature of the market in the late morning.

As predicted by the Wall Street Journal American Tobacco directors placed the common and class B common a 14 per cent annual dividend basis. The common advanced to 166. up and the B stock to 164% up 4. PRICES WEAKEN IN GRAIN IRAOE Lower Foreign Markets Cause Wheat Dip. By United Pres* •CHICAGO.

PCI /JEN who want both to succeed and gPfy K|i m VI *° ren(^er service should strike out on new lines rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success. It requires a better type of mind to seek out and support or create the new ” Albert W. Atwood. A _ The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) always has sought to create the new —to add to the tangible wealth of the comw munity—to make new values, leadWaw m ing in service and gaining leadership §1 JIL through service. 14* ieSlIE Petroleum in the ground is potential and passive wealth. Petroleum on the highways, in service stations, in tractors, trucks and automobiles, is active, usable wealth, rendering a distinct and important service to humanity. Before the organization of great companies to transport and reline crude petroleum and to make the resulting products available to all the people, this vast, potential wealth was not worth a cent. Today, with the machinery of industry in place and hundreds of millions of barrels of • crude passing in an unceasing stream from oil wells to consumer, this passive wealth has become active —and what was valueless before is now worth billions of dollars. This is service—the most real and fundamental kind of service. It is service due to leadership—to keeping always “a little in front o’ the next”. And in return for its part in this service, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has taken but a tiny fraction of the new national wealth which it has created. People in general think of wealth in terms of money —but, wealth is not money. It is merchandise —it is products which add ) comfort, luxury and satisfaction to life. * The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has taken the initiative in rendering this great service to humanity —it has converted passive wealth into hundreds of useful products which are prominent factors in the industrial and agricultural development of the nation—it has made petroleum products of every description available to the thirty millions of people in the Middle West.
