JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER NOT
HURT BY HARD TIMES

New York.-Ten years have add
ed from one source-oil-apProxi-
mately S678, OOO,O 900 to the Rookie
Teller fortune, it is estimated by Wall
street statisticians prompted by the
recent pronounced rise in the value
of all Standard securities to figure
the value of various units of the
Standard Oil Company, compared
with December Is, 1911, or shortly
before the Inauguration of indepen-
dent operations.
Since the dissolution decree of the
United States supreme court, it de-
velops, stocks of companies that COM
posed the original Standard Oil
Company have appreciated $2,261,-
100000 in market value and now
are figured at $2,S65,000,0 900. At
the time of the dissolution Of the
company the Rockefeller family
owned 80 per cent of the stock.
Hence, since dissolution there has
been a theoretical increase of 1913
100000 in the Rockefeller fortune
considering shares of Standard Oil
shares alone.
