DURING the month of May, 1920 (latest figures obtainable), the gasoline production in the United States was 381,079,291 gallons, a daily average of 12,292,880 gallons, the highest on record. Bureau of Mines.) The rising tide of petroleum consumption may be taken as an indication of increased industrial activity and of the extension of power farming. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana), serving eleven Middle Western states where both agricultural and industrial production are high, is bending every effort of its vast and experienced organization to produce sufficient gasoline to meet the rapidly rising demand. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) refineries are working intensively to obtain the maximum of gasoline from every gallon of crude oil. Not only arc the methods in use by the Company the most modern known, but they are carvied on with that maximum of economy attendant upon large-scale operations. Distribution of petroleum products by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is both comprehensive in development and economical in practice. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) offers its highly developed efficiency as a sen-ice to the people of the Middle West.
