all these things:
"My house, or rather the house ir

goods than anv other except Massachu

SKILLED
‘HANDS
'1
The men who run the big stills in the oil
refineries, who watch the flow of distillates
in the “look box”, know the game. They
are skilled hands who have been refining
oil all their lives. Inspecting the various
“cuts” has become almost second nature.
Such experience always leads to one thing
—uniform high quality in the product.
It is the same in every department of this
company. At every stage in the refining,
shipping and marketing of our products
you will find that the men in important
positions have hau life-long experience in
the oil industry to fit them for their work.
Sometimes their skill goes even further
back, for it is based on that of their fathers
before them. It is only natural that such
sound experience is reflected in the quality
of “Standard” products.
