OIL company of Kansas makes regular
reports of all its business to the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey?
A-No.
The answers of the Standard Oil
company Of Indiana are very similar to
those Of Kansas, being prepared by
Alfred d. Eddy. the general attorney.
and attested by William P. Cowan, vice
president of the Standard OIL of Indi-
ana. In the list of stockholders of the
Standard Oil of Indiana appear
such we'll known names as John D.
Arch bold, 1901 shares. H. H. Rogers,
2,001 shares. w. H. Tilford's profits
on his shares have by his orders been
paid to the Standard Oil company of
New Jersey. There have never been
more than ten or a dozen shareholders.
Back in 1900, J. D. RockefeIler's name
appears as owning one share. Then in
1901, he dropped out, and William
Rockefeller appeared on the list for
one share. William Rockefeller stuck
until early in 1908, when his name
ceases to appear.
Bearing in mind that the capital
stock of the Standard Oil company of
Indiana was only $1,000,000, it is in
teresting to observe the size of the
dividends paid. They are listed as fol-
