The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is an essential economic factor in the national life. It contributes a definite quota of imperative service to society. It is especially organized to render this service. It operates in an environment of the most intense competition; it survives because it is efficient. ’St}andar'd Oil Company (Indiana) 910 So.
