Collier's Weekly quotes Herbert Hoover as • saying: ‘‘There is room for 20% to 30# increase in the standards of living today.” Increased living standards mean more automobiles, an increased demand for gasoline, and greater opportunity for the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to serve society. It is estimated that today more than 88 million Americans enjoy the use of the 17 % million automobiles now in service. In view of this statement and its application, it is obvious that the petroleum industry as a whole and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) as one of the outstanding units of this industry in particular, will be called upon to render to society a vastly greater service than they have been called upon to render* in the past The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) believes that one of the fundamentals of its service is to decrease the cost of manufacturing and distributing petroleum products by the rigid elimination of waste; to increase the percentage of oil products, especially gasoline, derived from crude petroleum. Only through such service will it be possible to stretch the supply of crude oil to meet the demand for gasoline. Mr. Hoover says: “That a general higher buying power can be created by paring down the losses in production and distribution.” It is such thrifty, far-sighted “paring down” of waste that enables the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to keep its service stations and tank wagons delivering gasoline and oils to you at prices so low that all can enjoy their use. j These low prices have been an important factor in helping to increase the living standards of the American working man, enabling him to ride to work in motor cars and raise his family in the suburbs where rents are lower and conditions more healthful.
