The process used in these refineries en- ables the Company to get from crude oil a large yield of good gasoline. Throughout this territory the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) maintains an adequate and economical system of dis- tribution, which enables it to maintain its established practice of selling its ‘ products at a price which is fair to all. x This Company's policy of fairness and f ‘ its earned reputation for efficiency have ] enabled it to command araple capital for needed expansion of refinery facili- ties; for needed storage and equipment;’ . for proper maintenance of tank wagon .
