knock-out wardrobes worn by
some of the ladies.

Standard has served Alaska's railroad industry
since the first trip of old No. 1
Railroad transportation has played an important part in the
development of Alaska. Standard’s record of service to this industry dates
back to the first trip of old No. 1, when our products were there, waiting to
help her roll.
Since then, railroads have made great advances and Standard has kept pace.
In fact, our scientists helped bring about the modern era of railroads by
developing the first successful compounded heavy duty lubricating oil for
diesel engines. This helped make possible the powerful diesel locomotives
that move passengers by the thousand and tons of freight by the hundred
thousand in Alaska each year.
Standard’s service to Alaska’s railroad industry is typical of the way we also
work with shipping companies, truckers and airlines to help provide the good
transportation Alaska must have to keep growing.
