How Standard's products helped build
Alaska's modern highway system
\
Alaskans can be proud of the rapid growth of their
highway system. In just ten years, most of the main high
ways north of the “panhandle” have been paved.
Fuels and lubricants from Standard helped build the very
first miles of highway in Alaska... and most of the miles
that followed. From on-the-job experience Standard’s
scientists developed special, low temperature starting
fluids, motor oils and greases which help keep machinery
working long past the regular building season.
Standard* also supplied most of the asphalt products
used by engineers*to help give Alaska more miles of safe,
smooth, skid-resistant highways at less cost.
More and better highways hold an important key to
Alaska’s future progress. To help speed that progress,
Standard is working with highway engineers on improved
construction methods for the roads that will open new
areas of Alaska’s great resources for development.
