ROCKEFELLER
John D., an American who endeavored to drive his
camel through the eye of a needle by giving advice, building
churches and colleges, and squeezing competitors. Like all
millionaires, he was born penniless. R. worked hard, helped
the missions out of his $3 a week, married, and purchased some
oil fields. He struck oil. He made it in a trust. Then he
began purchasing colleges to keep young men out of business.
As his wealth increased his stomach and hair wore out. Could
make seven people dizzy thinking of his money. Spent the
latter portion of his life dodging subpoenae servers, and
doubling his fortune by the dissolution of his business.
Ambition: More churches, colleges, and less competition. Also
another Supreme Court decision. Recreation: Golf, the
coiffeurs, and telling young men of the futility of
competition. Address: Courts and church. Clubs: Y. M. C. A.,
when he can spare the time from his legal and congressional
investigations.
