Sometimes it pays to keep ones
agreements in good faith. The
Standard Oil Co. at one time
made agreement with Rothschilds
that each company would keep
out of the others territory in the
matter of securing and working
of oil lands. But without notice
the Standard Oil Co. took in"
some good properties in violation
of this agreement, as alleged by
the Rothchilds. This accounts
for the organization of the Eng
