This is Alaska — a growing, changing land. And as housing becomes more and more a
major industry, Standard's role as supplier of essential petroleum products grows. Our
heating oils warm homes, asphalt insulations seal out the cold, fuels and lubricants run
construction equipment propel ships and trucks bringing in building materials.
As Alaska continues to grow, Standard will be ready with ever better products and'
facilities to help in the job of housing Alaskans.
