John D.. OIL, William, Lamp.
OF the business genius OF the Rookie
feller brothers II has been said that ono
was as necessary to the other as q lamp
Is to oil. and a survey OF the history OF
the enterprises of Standard OIL reveals
that In the formative period II was John
d. who planned on mighty scale and
projected gigantic moves, while II was
William who weighed. analyzed. steadied
and provided, often the capital--John d.
the oil, William the lamp.
When Standard Oil finally attained q
monopoly, when it's fields. it's pipe lines
and its wagons covered the face or the
land, consolidation having followed con-
solidation, the United States Supreme
Court stepped in and ordered dissolution
OF the great trust. In this situation
William Rockefeller's financial genius
blazed high, for under the skilllful
manipulation of his hand the various
concerns that had been welded together,
and whose value, it had been feared,
would deteriotate greatly in the dis
solution, suddenly became more valua-
BILE, rather than less, as they were re-
organized under the laws of individual
States. Their securities went even
higher than before. This came, too. in
the very period when an astonishing
development of motor travel caused de-
mand for gasoline and so added enor-
mously to the Rockefeller riches.
One of the few occasions when Will
lam Rockefeller attained distasteful
publicity was when he found himself at
war with the residents of Bay Pond and
its enyirons in the Adirondacks. He had
gradually bought up mountain and for
est until the tract under his title
amounted to $4,000 acres. He rigidly
preserved it, warning all poachers from
his woods and streams and private
roads. Thus he violated or ran counter
to the customs of generations and be-
came an object OF bitter hate to many

saw Mountain Landis's 1000, 900 lne,
taxation complaints, devotion to golf,
vast gifts to education and benevolent
enterprises--all these things served
eventually, especially in the last twenty
years, to throw a stronger and stronger
light upon the hitherto vague personality
OF John d. Little by little the public
came to have an appreciation OF the
mans personality, as well as more
understanding or his business. But of
the younger brother this was never true.
Persistently and successfully he kept
behind the veil. When at times he was
briefly illuminated by public discussion
he managed quickly to retire to obscurity
again. Little became known OF his likes
or dislikes, his recreations ana aversions
because of his inflexible resistance to
publicity. His gifts to churches, colleges
and institutions are said to have been
large, but not one was ever heralded.
OF very rich men he was perhaps the
least known.
He was born on May 81, 1S41, at Rich
ford, Tioga county. His brother had
come into the worlde.on July s. 1899.
They were sons of William Avery and
Eliza Dawson Rockefeller. William
Rockefeller got his education in the pub
lie schools of Tioga county and of Cleve-
land. Ohio. He began his business career
as a poolkeeper for A. Quinn, miller
of Cleveland, whom he served two years,
going from Quinn to Hughes & Lester.
commission house. At the end OF
another two years he became partner
in the business. and In 1854 he joined
his brother John D., and Samuel An
drews in an oil business copartnership
which they called VIM. Rockefeller &
Co. They refined oil, and William came
to New York to handle the selling end of
the concern and to manage its finances.
In these early days he was the financier
and the salesman. In 1867 new firm
took the place OF the old one. Rockefel-
ler. Andrews & Flagier. The Standard
Oil Company Of Ohio grew out of this in
1870, and in 1882, in constantly increas-
ing prosperity. the Standard OIL Com
pany was finally formed, and with 1t

William Rockefeller became vice-presi-
dent of the parent concern and of most

Always Kept in obscurity.

Possibly the most interesting fact of
William Rockefeller's career outside of
the celebrity he attained as one of the
worlds richest men was the obscurity
with which he veiled not only his affairs

Sands unsuitable for concrete on

tigated by the bureau of public roads
Of the United States Department of
Agriculture and methods of treatment
devised to make them safe for Use.
Until recent years it often happened
that concrete made of good cement
and well-graded and apparently good
sand, would disintegrate and become
worthless In such cases the poor
quality has been attributed to all the
different things which go to make a
poor concrete.
A few years ago laboratory work
ers discovered the effect of organic
matter in sand and devised simple
test to determine its presence in harm
full quantities. The bureau now hopes
to find methods of treatment SO that
such sands can be used. Samples OF
sand from all parts of the country are
desired and anyone is invited to sent
in a sample in which the presence OF
organic matter is suspected, addressed
