On December 31,1919, the price of crude had advanced to $3.51 per barrel, f. o. b. Whiting, and the selling price of gasoline to 21c per gallon. In other words this Company is paying two and one-half times as much for crude oil as it was in 1913, but because of its more efficient refining methods it is able to sell gasoline to you for less than onehalf more than was charged at that time. ( Continuing th* tabl*:) Crude Petroleum .... 100 240 140 9k Red Crown Gasoline . . 100 144.8 44.89k It will be seen from the above tables that gasoline stands at the end of the list as regards price increase, and that crude petroleum stands sixth from the end, showing how effectually refining efficiency has operated in behalf of the motorist Every cost entering into the making of gasoline has risen immensely. The cost of crude, the cost of refining, and the cost of marketing are all greater than ever before. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) by superior efficiency in every process of refining and distributing has contributed in no small degree to hold the price of gasoline down to its present level. Every man in the manufacturing end of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is keenly alive to the pressing necessity for an increased output of gasoline at a minimum manufacturing cost The ideal toward which the Standard Ofl Company (Indiana) is striving, is to put Red Crown, a gasoline of known, standard quality, within the reach of motorists everywhere in the Middle West at a price so low as to make possible the free use of that 25 percent increase in automotive vehicles which is anticipated fbr 1920.

TN all the history of mechanical arts, no other record is given A of worth increasing as operation continues. Yet in the Steams Sleeve Valve Motor, this attribute is universally acknowledged. The motor does develop more power. It gains in flexibility, smoothness and the silence for which Steams is noted. 1920 models await your critical inspection. Demonstrations made at your convenience.
