# The History of the Standard Oil Company/Volume 1/Appendix/Number 25

NUMBER 25 (See page 148)
HENRY M. FLAGLER'S TESTIMONY ON THE UNION OF THE STANDARD OIL COMPANY WITH OUTSIDE REFINERS IN 1874
[Proceedings in Relation to Trusts, House of Representatives, 1888. Report Number 3112, page 291 and page 770.]
   A. . . . The original Standard Oil Company was organised in the early part of 1870. The increased capacity and the acquisition of the Cleveland refineries was, as I remember it, in 1872. It remained at that until 1875 or 1876, according to the best of my recollection. Then was consummated a negotiation which had been pending for some two years, perhaps, with certain parties in Pittsburg, Philadelphia and New York, by which a value was agreed upon, and their refinery property was purchased and the capital of the company was increased a still further sum of a million, and they were paid for these properties, and money which they contributed, in the stock of the Standard Oil Company of Ohio.
   By Mr. Gowen.
   Q. When did the Standard Oil Company of Ohio first enter into an alliance with other refineries?
   A. If you mean, (by) an alliance, Mr. Gowen, I should say never.
   Q. I am only endeavouring to aid your friends in getting at what they want. Here, I notice, they propose to prove by you—I will give it in this way—that on account of the disastrous condition of the refining business, the Standard, on October 15, 1874, entered into an alliance with a number of Pittsburg refineries?
   A. That is more correctly stated by saying that the Standard Oil Company purchased the refineries owned by the parties in Pittsburg.
   Q. Who were they?
   A. Lockhart, Frew and Company, I think was the company. Wait a moment. It was the Standard Oil Company of Pittsburg, it being a corporation, and Warden, Frew and Company, of Philadelphia, and, I should say, Charles Pratt and Company, of New York.
   Q. Any others?
   A. That is all. ​Q. All those gentlemen, Warden, Frew and Company, and the Standard Oil Company of Pittsburg, Charles Pratt and Company of New York, are now associated with you as parties interested in the present Oil Trust?
   A. They are stockholders. The property formerly owned by them was at that time purchased by the Standard Oil Company.
   Q. When you speak of purchasing their interest, you do not exclude them from their interest? They united with you and remained as your associates in the business?
   A. If it was not from the fact that ours was a corporation, we might call it a co-partnership.
   Q. They becoming interested in yours, and you in theirs?
   A. Yes, sir.
   Q. And you simply used your name to represent the joint ownership, as it was a corporation?
   A. Yes, sir.

# The Italian Cook Book: the Art of Eating Well: Practical Recipes of the Italian Cuisine

ITALIAN COOK BOOK The Art of Eating Well
PRACTICAL RECIPES OF THE ITALIAN CUISINE
PASTRIES
SWEETS, FROZEN DELICACIES
AND SYRUPS
COMPILED BY MRS. MARIA GENTILE
ITALIAN BOOK CO.
COPYRIGHT 1919 BY ITALIAN BOOK CO.
​One of the beneficial results of the Great War has been the teaching of thrift to the American housewife. For patriotic reasons and for reasons of economy, more attention has been bestowed upon the preparing and cooking of food that is to be at once palatable, nourishing and economical.
In the Italian cuisine we find in the highest degree these three qualities. That it is palatable, all those who have partaken of food in an Italian trattoria or at the home of an Italian family can testify, that it is healthy the splendid manhood and womanhood of Italy is a proof more than sufficient. And who could deny, knowing the thriftiness of the Italian race, that it is economical?
It has therefore been thought that a book of PRACTICAL RECIPES OF THE ITALIAN CUISINE could be offered to the American public with hope of success. It is not a pretentious book, and the recipes have been made as clear and simple as possible. Some of the dishes described are not peculiar to Italy. All, however, are representative of the Cucina Casalinga of the peninsular Kingdom, which is not the least product of a lovable and simple people, among whom the art of living well and getting the most out of life at a moderate expense has been attained to a very high degree.
