TWO facts lie behind the low price you pay for gas
oline: oil companies work constantly through re
search to improve product and keep price low,
and they compete intensely for your patronage. That's
why Standard opened the West's first petroleum
research laboratory 32 years ago-and invests about
6 million annually in research today.
One result you see here. Thanks to competi.
tion, gasoline prices (aside from taxes) have risen
only 20 since 1925 . . . less than half as much as
practically anything else you buy. But there have
been other benefit for you, too. Research, moti
vated by competition, has resulted in a stead
ily improving gasoline. Two gallons of modern
gasoline do the work that required three in 1925,
and this improvement has paved the way for
lighter, more efficient car engines that give you
more power, performance and economy. Compe
tition and research have lev! tn In,- m a ...
tion service, as well, and to the world-wide search
that has discovered the largest known oil reserves
in America's history. Last year alone, Standard
Oil Company of California invested $225 million
in exploration, new oil wells, and improved facil
ities to keep pace with our competition. The net
res-ilt to you is far better gasoline at prices
yhich make it one of the real bargains in your
oiuujr uuaget loaay.
