ANOTHER ROCKEFELLER TRUST
Have Got a Monopoly on the Rubber
Business.

John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and his
brother in law, E. d. Aldrich. son Of
Senator Aldrlch have startled the
financial centers of the world with
coup which rivals the feats of their
respective fathers in the handling Of
money and poh.cs and the extermina-
ton of competitors. The two young
men have followed the Standard Oil
example in that they have selected the
product of nature-rubber-aboout
which to build a powerful monopoly
by controlling not only the source Of
supply, but the means by which it
can be refined into an article Of mer-
chandise
Already they have caused the loss
of many millions to the rubber trust,
their rivals.
The Continental Rubber Company
Of America is the concern of which
young Rockefeller and Aldrich are the
heads. 1t has come into the rubber
business with such a weight Of money
that the price of rubber has been
driven down so that the estimate Of
last years crop, $116l5s,000 would
dwindle to $S2,0O0,0O0 if sold at the
last price quoted under Rockefeller
