The question Of gasoline price affect every motorist.1 Standard Oil Company of California receives somlettert along these lines: " When 1 drive doumtown, the prices of all the ma jor gasolines seem to be about the same. I've heard it said that the major oil companies get togi ther to set prices. Isn't this true?' ; ' ?; - The answer to that question fs an unqualified NO. Oil companies do not get together to set prices, nor do we in any way set prices by agreementJBut we do think it's in order to tell you about gasoline prices and how they're arrived at: When you shop you find not only gas oline but many product of the Mm kind and about the same quality priced about alike.' Prices just naturally tend to even up, and it's easy to see why. Suppose prices could Mter level out BvppoM that by son rule a gas station oper ator were forced to sell gasoline at 2c a gallon more than his neighbora. His station would soon be the looelieat place in town. Or euppe be bad to sell for 2 a gallon Urn than bis neigbborst, "till giving full quality and service. As bis competi tors cut price to bold customers, his income keeps going down. In time be would vo broke. These imaginary examples of set-prke policy show what any gas seller actually faces. He muet sell for: enough to cover his corts ; and naak living'. . . and be can't ' charge j too much or ball driv business away. Price is forced up by one factor, held down by the ther. It'a as simple as that. ! I!!- ' '-n tfi9 ft I : '. ' If J' . nrrr ur- - ' - auAtrr Wo aet price' only at stations wo own and operate Standard Stations, Inc. Here we put price where experi ence shows ua they should be, to cover our cost of prod acta and service, and still let ns sell in competition. , At Chevron Gas Stations the operators are comple tely independent. They set their own prices. You occasionally see a range of gasoline prices for the same or different N brand in a aingl area, until competition finally force the price of sunuax. prod ucts and services' back to a common level. What comes oat of all this is bett products at low cost . . . the benefit yoo alweyi get wherever free competition im given a chance to work. Not this: aside? from taxes, and in spit of inflation, gasoline today costs you just about what it did in 1919, and is so much Un proved that two gallon now do th work that required three then.
