RocMeGeller's First Plunge

MHEN the oil discovery of 1862 first
w struck the Titusvile (Pa.) district
there was a firm of commission-merchants
doing business in Cleveland, Ohio, under the
sign of Clark & Rockefeller
The beginning of the name of the junior
partner was John D., and from the first news
of FL Dorado he seemed to be keenly interested
in all oil talk. He had been in Titusville sew
eral times on business, dealing usually with a
man named Franklin Breed, and after the
news from the field had grown better for weeks
following weeks, Rockefeller again went to
the little town, stopping with Mr., Breed.
He arrived a Monday afternoon in Deem
Der, and for perhaps hour the two trans
acted such business as their houses had in
common. Then the Clevelander preached the
subject of oil, which remained the sole topic
OF conversation until supper, and through it,
and after it till bedtime. The result was a
promise from Breed to show his guest in the
morning a well which he just had bought at
Petroleum Center, not far away. And at once
after breakfast the two set out
In those days Petroleum Center was con-
nected with Titusville merely by country
road, and horseback was the only mode of
locomotion unless one walked, and with
December thaw mixing the with the

Pennsylvania mud, walking was not a thing
to be desired. Nevertheless the sight-seers
had to leave their horses at last, in order to
cross bayou which interviewed between them
and the Breed well. The ditch was some hun
dred yards long, and perhaps six or seven
wide, spanned at the point of travel by log
not more than eight inches in diameter, then
wet and greasy from the weather. Beneath it
lay a tarry mixture compound of the sedi-
ment from the big tanks nearby and the
DRAWINGS of the muddy countryside.
Breed crossed first and safely; Rockefeller
crossed second and fell in. That is he
straddled the log, plunging nearly to the hips
in the unsavory mess. Then, as he was being
dragged out of his predicament, he remarked
There's one thing mighty sure, Breed.
You've got me into this oil business pretty
nearly head over ears. As they say out at
the Forest City race-track, | have suddenly
developed into plunger."
As a matter of fact, it may be added, the
visitor did not return to his home till he had
bought from his host the first car of oil which
ever had been sold from his well-paid fifteen
hundred dollars for it-and from that day be-
came more and more closely associated with
the business until now, to quote Breed HIM
