JOHN D. ARCHBOLO
Continued from page ~


This publicity was still further
heightened by the publication OF a
score or more OF letters from Mr.. Arch
bold to Joseph b. Foraker, then Sena
tor from Ohio. Representative Joseph
c. Sibley, Of Pennsylvania. and other
statesmen. showing that large sums
of money had been distributed for the
alleged purpose Of influencing favor
able Legislation at Washington. Mr..
ArChhold considered them as attor-
ney fees. The publication of these let.
tors exposed Mr.. ArChbUld to attack
from every quarter.
John Dustin ArchbOld was born at
t.eesburg, o.. July &c. lS4S, and was
working in country store at Salem,
O.. when he heard of the wonderful oil
regions i'll Western PENNSYLVANIA
where men were becoming rich over
night. In 1854 he went to III coil
fields and became rciiner and buy.
er at TituSville. lie became the agent
of new company, the Acme company,
which proved to be an OffshoOt OF
the Rockefeller interests. and from
that time. in 1915. until his death he
was an associate of the ROrkcfcllcrs.
John d. Rockefeller tells in his Ran.
dom "reminiscences of how he first
met Mr.. ArChbOld. In stopping at II
hotel, Mr. Rockefeller was struck by
the fact that on the hotel register was
written in large characters this i'll
scription:
John y. ArchbOld $500 Il Rhl
-Four dollars barrel" was Mr.
ArchbOlds battle cry and though he
did not succeed in putting crude oil
up to the figure named. he did succeed
in attracting the attention OF MIR.
Rockefeller in a way that led TO bust.
ness association with the Standards
interests.
Mr.. Archbold was the first man
among his associates to whom Mr..
Rockefeller pays tribute in his re.
minisCenccs. Among other things, he
said:
Mr.. ArchbOld has always had we'll
developed sense OF humor, and on one
occasion, when he was on the witness
stand. he was asked by the opposing
lawyer:
mir. ArchboId. are you director
of this company

company"
"'TO clamor for dividends.
II has been estimated that his for.
