Indiana Standard Celebrates 50 Years of Progress in Oil Business
The Indiana Standard marks its 50th year with an annual report noting $725 million in assets, 30,000 employees, and nearly 100,000 stockholders. It highlights social assets built over five decades and the shifts in oil industry competition, politics, and regional growth from Kansas and Oklahoma to Texas and the Midwest, amid broader national changes. The piece reflects on public perception, governance, and the company’s enduring role in the gasoline era. It ends with remarks on the era’s tumult and a nod to local shoppers in Cape Girardeau.
