THE problem of obtaining uniform quality is one off the difficulties that the successful gasoline producer lias had ,to solve. The niatteivof / varying quality is one 4»f the greatest annoyances to the gasoline user. It was easy to get a standard product when practically all -, the Caroline came from one or two types <>♦' eMide petroleum. Coni]>antivc!y little gasoline was used then. Today, the demand is so great that all1 parts of the globe have been explored for petroleum, wbiclr accounts for the great range f of "crudes" on the market. Gasoline must he uniform not s- only in one or two or three respects. but in every nay that affects motor operation. Almost every property of the gaso-

line you-use influences in some way the performance of your motor. The Standard Oil Company i 1 (New Jersey) has never been s content to have "Standard" • Motor Gasoline exceptionally p good in any one respect to the v detriment of other properties. | c The ideal would be to have every drop of gasoline as tini- j form in all its qualities as the chemicals and drugs which your pharmacist uses in a prescription. As a result of the co-operation of our Develop- ; ment "hud Manufacturing Departments. "Standard" Motor f Gasoline is positively the best balanced and the highest in j quality that you can buy. It is the same whether you get it m one corner of the state i or another.
