What is a mile to gasoline?
TN frontier days a mile was the radius of a family's activh
X ties. Then came roads and carriages, pushing the horizon
back a few miles. The next generation discovered the possi
bilities of the internal combustion motor carried on pneu
matic tires. The Chinese wall that shut out so many .
alluring vistas of the land beyond the hill disappeared. ,
Man had oonquered distance.
This year 180,000,000 barrels of gasoline will drive trucks,
tractors, launches, planes and motor cars. Every drop that
is not converted into power is tVaste?a loss that cannot be
recovered, """his company, the pioneer in : perfecting petro
leum products, offers "Standard" Motor Gasoline as the
eventual motor fuel?quick, powerful, uhiform and
