While the increasing supplies of crude oil have led to another price-cut in Pennsylvania crude, and in some sections of the country a further lowering in gasoline prices, leading petroleum men are beginning to see blue sky on the horizon again. Standard oil-usually a good judge of such matters-has shown its faith in the future of the oil business by taking advantage of the present slump to buy up producing companies. Furthermore, the Lamp-house-organ of the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey -now has designated next June as the probable time when consumption would again...
Factories are beginning to work and are striving to make-up for the gap of years of little or no production. The schools, which are now in small crude huts will move within a few weeks into the newly constructed schoolhouses. The cathedral alone has not been rebuilt and the services of the church are still held in temporary improvised buildings...
...geological times upheaved the water and land surface of the earth and killed immense quantities of fish. Extensive zones of fish remains have been found throughout the northern hemisphere in the same rocks with rich bituminous oil deposits. Sometimes oil migrates long distances through porous sandstone and similar rocks. Crude petroleum Dr. Macfarlane has shown to be wholly animal in origin. Seismic disturbances, particularly near the sea, often develop new deposits of dead fish for the production...

The latter is now lower than at any time since 1915; crude oil sold in that year at 60? a barrel, and is now $1.50 a barrel.

An important factor has also been the improvement of refining methods, whereby the proportion of gasoline obtained from crude oil is higher than previously...

The Underground literally set the nation's standards of poster publicity during the War, refusing to display the Government's first crude and inartistic recruiting posters. The Company sent as a free gift to the boys in the trenches one Christmas, a series of posters of home life by great artists, including the Land of Nod by Charles Sims, R. A. The stations of the Underground display a guide to the current...
