Development Oil Industry In Dutch I

The present fields actually pro- I
dudng oil are in Sumatra, Java
and In Borneo, with its adjacent t
Island of Tarakan. The Royal 1
Dutch Company for the Working I
ot Oil Wells was tho pioneer In pe- t
was constructed. In 1893 about
400,000 cases of kerosene were
shipped and In ISOS 6,000,000 cases,
followed by a heavy falling off In
output. This led to further drill
ing, and aftor a period of unsuc
cessful borings wolls sunk In tho
Porlak District became productive
and were connected with the re

Why Are Some Storekeepers
So Obstinate? -
I ani an old-fashioned buyer of the
necessities for my household. I go tq
the store rhyself. To me this work is
not irksome. In fact, I like it. I like
to look at the shelves so full of cans
and packages of so many colors. I like
to do this for the same reason that I
don’t mind being in a crowd.
When in a crowd I look for familiar
faces. When I see them I am delighted.
When I am in a store I ldok for famil
iar goods and when I see them I buy.
Those goods have become familiar to
me through advertising and I have no 7
ticed that the grocery men who have
luo most of those familiar packages
somehow or other seem to always go
uhead. •
i went into a store not of my own
dioosing but with a friend who, among
other things, asked for a very well
,'„iown article of food which is packed
i a can, although she did not ask for
Any specfic kina. I always buy
and instinctively I told her that was
the kind she should ask for.
The dealer overheard me and said,
“Madam, I never sell that article. I sell
instead something very much better
...... my own brand.”
Then he launched into a five-minute
talk on why this article was better
than the one I had named. But some
how my friend had been convinced by
what I had suggested and she did not
buy the can which the grocer offered.
And I thought as 1 walked out how
vubborn and obstinate that man was.
B had lost a sale, had probably taken
buy and which I always buy I know

of both competitor and consumer. Thi
subjection to almost world-wide criti
cal examination demonstrates to mo
that the manufacturer has supreme
confidence in his goods. He cannot
tell a falsehood about the things he
makes, because there are too many in
the world to find him out.
Constant advertising of any product
proves.that product has stood the test
of scrutiny. Is it any wonder then why
I, as one of several million women in
my same position, prefer articles with
which I am acquainted to products
about which I 'have no knowledge and

not seem to have the courage to en
lighten me?

and had certainly lost a good deal of
time, especially since some other peo

If that grocer had sold advertised
goods he would certainly have had the
brand I suggested and he would have
•made a sale; incidentally, he would
have bid us good day cheerily and he
and we would have been satisfied.
Familiar faces are wonderful. To
me, in my capacity as a buyer for a
fairly large household, familiar things
on the shelves of 'the stores I visit arc
only a little less wonderful, for those
familiar things help me in doing better
and more economically the job which I
must work at every day.

Quality of Dutch Cast Intflsa Olla
The quality of the oUa found la
tho Netherlands East Indies is um
usually varied. The* Sumatra and
especially the Borneo crudes are
noted for the large percentage ol
aromatie hydrocarbons. Nearly all
the Sumatra oils sre very rich la
light products and contain UtUs or
oo paraffine. Borneo crudes vary
greatly In composition, eves la the
same fields. At Saaga-8anga at
different depths occurs heavy
crude, containing no benslne. kero*
sene or paraffine, and lighter ol)
with 15 per cent of benilnh, 4$ per
cent of kerosene and from • to ll
per cent of paraffine. #
In general, the Java oils ylsld
wry little benslne, some do not
even contain kerosene, while oth»
ere have a strong base of parafflna.
By the end of 1818 the Dutch
East Indies Government had grant*
ed sixty concessions for the am
ploltatlon of petroleum in the la*
lands. The development which has
taken place has been largely
through the aid of American mm
