POSITION

Inventories Wirtten Down to Point Well Below Current Market Value of Oil. The annual fiscal report of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana shows that the company is In strong balance sheet condition. Inventories have been written down to a point that is probably well below the present market value of oil and storage. And cash in the banks amounts to more than 39,500.000. which Is more than double the highest cash account ever shown by the company. Investments in other companies appear in the balance sheet for the first time as $36,069.220 In 1920, now stands at ? 1 03,2 i 1.888. Collections would appear to be unusually easy wih the company, since

accounts receivable are lower than they have been at any time since 1916. It is always Interesting to contemplate the vast accretions In market value that have marked the history of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana. In this respect it has proved the richest of all the Standard Oil roup which was segregated into its component parts.

WLS see better in the dark than they do in daylight. So do bats and one or two other freaks

of animal life. But human beings do not. Yet, it is peculiar how some of us persist in remaining in the dark on the very things that Concern

us most.

For instance: now more than ever before, we ought to see that every cent we spend buys its full quota of value. Yet, lots and lots of folks go blithely along making their everyday purchases with their eyes shut tight. And it's so easy to be sure you're right. Spend a few minutes a day running through the advertisements in this newspaper. Then buy the products that have proved up under the spotlight of consistent publicity. Merchants and manufacturers who advertise invite the inspection of thousands of eyes. Here in the advertising columns you see products that have made good before the critical audience of buyers. These products are full value products. They return you dollar for dollar. Buy them. Read the advertisements and buy the advertised products.
