He refers to the extent to which he
has been associated with interesting

natural temptation to charge one with

one keeps silence, the inference OF

Mr.. Rockefeller speaks of the devel.

and says that the plan of selling direct
to The consumer and the exceptionally
rapid growth of the business bred
certain sntagonism which suppose
could not have been avoided" or the
direct selling to the consumer, he
says:
This was done in fair spirit and
with due consideration for everyone's
rights. We did not rulhlessly go after
the trade Of our competitors and at
tempt to ruin II by cutting prices or
instituting a spy system" If any Of
the employees Of the company were
over-zealous in going after sales. he
says, they acted in violation of the
expressed and known wishes of the

Further on he says
Another thing to be remembered
about the so-called octopus is thai
there has been no water introduced
into the capital (perhaps we fell that

nor in all these years has anyone had
