FACTS ABOUT ROCKEFELLER,
RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD

John D. Rockefeller, head of the
Standard Oil company and popularly
supposed to be the richest man in the
world, on Thursday celebrated his
10th birthday The following para
graphic review of the personal char
acteristics and career of the oil king
is based largely on his own state
ments:
John Dawson Rockefeller was born
in Richford, n. Y, July s, 1899, son
of William A. Rockefeller, farmer,
and Eliza Davis Rockefeller.
He says he MIXED cows at s years
Of age.
At he bought cord wood for the
home, and knew how to select the
good pieces.
/ At IL he supervised the construc-
ton of a brick house for his father.
He says that it was a splendid ex-
perience.
He went to Cleveland, Ohio, when
he was 13.
He left school at 16.
His first position was as a clerk
and bookkeeper, in 1855. He got $50
/ for four months work.
He declared that he didn't mind
/ the amount of the salary. 1t was the
position he wanted-the chance to
prove himself.
Was raised after working a year
to $25 a month.
Paid for his board and laundry
from his first job-and saved a little
money.
Always Gives to Church.
Always gave something Of his saw
ings to the church.
Always carefully kept note Of his
earnings and expenses.
Worked early and late; says his
work was always a pleasure.
When he was 10 years old he ask
ed for $500 a year salary-and was
refused.
Left his position borrowed $4,000
without security, to commence a pro-
duce commission business with
young Englishman.
His first years profits were $2,-
200.
Borrowed more money and backed
one Samuel Andrews, who had de-
vised new process to improve the
quality Of oil, in refinery.
His keenness and persistence rap
idly increased his business. Started |
another refinery, and opened an oil
selling house in New York.
Tt is asserted that he obtained his |
first great advantages over competi-
tors by getting regular rebates from
railroads.
BY combining with other interests
he forced or bought out many small
er companies, so that in 1872, he be-
came master of one-fifth Of the re-
filming business Of the United States.
1t is claimed that his business
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-07-10

, methods with those who stood in his
way were pitiless and crushing, but
those who did as he wished invariably
made money.
Word Is Reliable.
! His word in business or in private
is absolutely to be relied upon.
His gifts to his church grew great
er in proportion to his earning ca
pacity.
When the independents pumped oil
over the mountains he faced a new
problem. He tried to crush them;
but failing, entered into an alliance.
In 1876 he combined all OF his
companies into one and called it the
Standard Oil company. 1t was cap
italized at $1,000,OOO.
In 1882 he organized the Standard
| Oil trust, which was dissolved in
1892; and since then various COM
panies have been operated separately,
but under identical control.
At 16 he had SO; at II, 800; at
19, $500; at 23, $500; at 90, $4,000;
at 81, $500, 900; at 9,4 81, 100000; at
"A, 26,OOOOO0; at 81, $3.50, O,0OO,O0O:
and at 10 his fortune is estimated at
more than 500, 100000.
He says that his success is due to
the training he had at home and his
willingness to work.
He says his business associates al
ways implicitly trusted him.
ness that came to him has been iden-
tlfying himself with Christianity. He
has given millions to the church.
He has given $35,O00,0O0 to the
New York educational board, the
largest single gift ever made.
He is frugal almost to penurious-
ness in his personal expenditures.
He is accessible, unostentatious,
and friendly at his church; he will
speak to or shake the hand Of any
one. In his office he is as difficult
to see as is the emperor Of Japan.
Habits Are Simple.
His houses are unostentatious, his
habits are truly simple. He lives like
any well-to-do middle-class man.
His income is larger than the COM
bned incomes of all the sovereigns of
Europe.
He has kept lobbyists at the capi-
tai and has influenced legislation
through agents for years, and yet
Had he been ambitious for person
al power the evils which he might
have worked with his great wealth
on the destnles Of any nation are in
calculable.
He has developed markets all over
the world.
His company carts oil from door |
to door in Germany and Portugual
and other countries, as 1t does in AM
erica.
He never speculates-he deals only |
with those things which other people
have proved sure.

Successful Ministers.

The successful minister is born, not
made. BY the use of whatever tools,
vitalizing though he may be compelled
to the oldest and modest conven
tions/ he comes to his real work by
virtue of qualities which theological
education can neither give nor take
away. If he has the soul to endure as
one seeing the invisible, and heart
to throb in unison with all the varied
humanity about him; and to all this
adds the sense of high mission and
the burden of spiritual message, he
need not trouble himself overmuch to
become "socialized." He will find his
true power and WELD 1t. Into the
striving and sorrow of the world he
will be able to bring something Of
peace and comfort; and will be the
better enabled to do 1t for having
braced his mind by hard study and
fed his spirit by long meditation
while the fire burns, than by taking
out q card In all the labor unions
from here to California, or running
now here and now there after the
latest sociological fad.-New Yorh
