Why gasoline
is a real bargain
today
Two facts lie behind the low price you pay for
gasoline: oil companies work constantly through
research to improve products and keep prices
low, and they compete intensely for your patron
age. 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 com
petition, 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 bene
fits for you, too. Research, motivated by
competition, has resulted in a steadily im
proving gasoline. Two gallons of modem
gasoline do the work that required three
in 1925, and this improvement has paved
the way for lighter, much more efficient
car engines that give you more power,
performance and economy. Competition
and research have led to better gas station
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 explora
tion, new oil wells, and improved facilities
to keep pace with our cbmpetition. The net
result to you is better gasoline at prices
which make it one of ,the real bargains in
your family budget.

With Spring just around the
corner, and thousand of vete-,
rans planning to take the!
initial step in buying their (
own home, Veterans Ad-;
ministration passes on a few
words of advice to the pros-'
pective home buyer.
GI loans, guaranteed or in-1
sured by the Veterans Ad-1
ministration are on the up
grade in most sections of the
country, VA reports, and
lenders are actively partici
pating in the program.
from long experience, va
knows that it is the hope of
every home-buying veteran to
say, “I’m perfectly satisfied
with my new home”, but, VA
says, it is not possible for the
Agency to guarantee the vete
ran will like his home - it can
only guarantee the loan. But
VA can help guide the vete
ran in his choice, with a
handy booklet entitled “To
the Home Buying Veteran”.
The booklet, which may be
bad without charge at any
VA office, has many check
points which prove valuable
in choosing a home. Some of
the things to be found point
out the value of the proper
neighborhood . . . the lot. .
details about inside and out
side construction. . . about the
foundations, cellars or base
ments . . . how to get an ap
praisal on the property . .
things to look for in signing a
sales contract.
The best way to protect
yourself in signing a sales con-]
tract, VA said, is to obtain]
competent adv’ce from an at-1
orney or someone who under- \
stands legal details and the ,
requirements in your partiular
area. VA is not permitted by
law to perform that service
for veterans.
VA also has available at any
of its offices a pamphlet “GI
Loans for Veterans” which
answers most of the questions
about loans. It is also supplied
without charge to prospective
home buyers.
“If you are planning t«
buy a home,” VA warns vete
rans, “be sure you get all the
advice and facts available BE
FORE you sign a sales con
tract. Know what you want,
how much you can afford to
pay, and you’ll be happier.
QUESTION of the WEEK
Q. I’m in a VA hospital,
and I want to transfer to
another one. Will VA furnish
me with transportation?
A. VA Will provide trans
portation only if the transfer
is approved and determined
necessary by VA for medical
reasons.
It’s hard to achieve success
and keep so-called friends
from being jealous, at the
same time.

Here’s a typical summertijme
scene—but with a difference. N.ow
he can hear what she’s playing.
Makers of the motor shown here
claim it’s “truly quiet,” thanks to a
new sound-insulating engineering
principle. The- result of years of
research, the 5% h.p. Sea-Horse
insulates the motor from the boat
through a revolutionary suspension
system, eliminating noises formerly
resulting when motor vibrations
were amplified by the hull acting as
a sounding board.
Combined with intake mufflers
and underwater exhaust which fur
ther reduce noise, the new Johnson
5% operates at a gentle purr.
Normal conversation at full
throttle, completely satisfactory
portable radio reception, and the
gentle slap of ripples on the bow
are all audible.
All in all, it’s wonderful news for
cottagers on American waterways,
whether motor users or not.
