MR.. ROCKEFELLER'S SPLENDID
TRIBUTE TO MR.. FLAGLER

this land on the back of a large ma +:
Mia envelope that ne picked up in the !:
Office. The description Of the prop A:
erty ran as such contracts usually do
until it came to the phrase the line
runs south to a mullen stalk etc.
This seemed to NE a trife indefinite,
but Mr.. Flagler said: /:
Its all right. John. I'll accept that /:
contract. and when the deed comes in /:
YOU Will see that the mullen stalk
will be replaced by proper stake, !;
and the whole document will be accu-
rate and shipshape." OF course It
turned out exactly as he said it would.
| am almost tempted to say that some
lawyers might sit at his feet End 1.
learn things about drawing contracts /
good for them to know, bus perhaps
orr legal friends Nigh. think | was /
partial. so ! won't press the point.
Another thing about Mr.. Flae.er, ,
! for which I think ne deserves great /
credit was that in The early days bel
| insisted that. when q refinery vas TO +
