John D.'s Charities Turned
 World Hatred To AdulatioIa
Automobile Pyramided Fortune Into Billion

The characteristic of this later technique was the exploitation of stockholders, of customers, o fthe public, or associated chiefly con- sisting in unloading stocks on in- vestors.
 Rockefeller never engaged dr any. such transactions. He never hoated Q stock issue. He never exploited bis stockholders or partners, He made production Of the best product at a reasonable price a: policy He was just with workers. He established pensions, hospitalization, paid the highest going wages. His sins, what ever they were, did not lie, in any of these directions. The thing that brought down on him the wrath of his generation was the ruth lessness with which he crushed his rivals and competitors. The story of how he did that is 8 long one and included his famous railroad re- bates and, worst. of all drawbacks, his influencing of press and public officials. His price-cutting wars and the many strategems by which he circumvented and ruined those com petitors who refused to join him were the circumstances which shocked the imagination and com manded the anger of his contempo- rarieS. But this must be said, that Rocokefeller's fortune in oil was made, not out of the betrayal of stockholders, out of adventures in the stock market, the speculation in his securities, but out of. the produc- tion of oil.
 One singular fact about his for tune is little known. Rockefeller retired from active business in 1896. When he did he was worth about $200, ,000, 900 at the most. It was After his retirement that the greater portion of that vast for tune estimated :. at a billion dol lars was made. 1t was due large ly to one fact with which he had no connection-the development of the automobile and the coase- quent vast market for gasoline. While he managed Standard Oil his principal product. was kero- sene. It was gasoline and oil for the motor age which gave sensa- tional increases to the values and profits of the great corporations he had founded.

Failed to Understand
 Social Aspects of Acts

What of his mind, 50 little ex- plored? It was 8 strange mixture of profound astuteness and. llnbeliev-t able naivete. He approached prob lems with complete tranquility and objectivity. He never acted fin haste, but having taken a decision could move with lightning swiftness. He saw with startling clarity the fas- tors he dealt with. But he was singularly without understanding of the social and general economic consequences of his acts and of his times. esi's
 And now, oddly, his long life comes to an end when the whole world turns seriously and, in places, with some resentment, to an evaluation of the instrumental- ities which he was the leader in forging.
