Crude Oil from Many Fields Helps to Make "Standard" the Best Gasoline PETROLEUM varies greatly according to its source. Some crude oil is best for one purpose while other grades arc superior for different products. In many years of experimental work we have discovered that our widely varying sources of supply ? covering almost everv developed field ? are of great value in contribu ting to the ideal balance in gasoline. \ou cannot get out of the motor anvthing more than you put into it ? via the earhiiretor. No amount of skill in operation will make a one-sided gasoline act like a balanced fuel. A one-sided. <gasnlinc nuiv be <piiek-slarting, or be effi cient in some oilier one respect, but it i> not capable of delivering the all-round cllieiencv of a well-balanced gasoline. A gasoline of proper balance can be defended upon not onlv for quick-starting but for smooth-running, maximum mileage, and a clean motor as well. It is the easiest thing in the world to test this improved gasoline yourself. W ait until vour tank is nearly empty and then try out "STANDARD" MOTOR GASOLINE on hills with which von are familiar. You can buy it wherever \ on motor. STANDARD OIL COMPANY (New Jersey)
