Chapter of Beans"
Thus began that comparatively
brief but important chapter in
his life that might be Subtitled
beans" For beans were the
speciality of the wholesale gro
Gerry firm of Clark and Rookie
feller. wholesale grocers. 1t is
related that Rockefeller at that
time used to go over the beans
personally, sorting out the bad
black ones SO as to get higher
prices at the market. True or
false, that touch is the begin
ming of legendry, and when leg
endry begins, then its object is
on his way to becoming some
body.
The first year showed profits
of $4,000 for each of the part
ners. Rockefeller was delighted.
There were those in Cleveland
only a few years ago who re-
membered his actions on such oc-
casions as this. Ordinarily quiet,
reserved, he used to clap his
hands and yell at good financial
news. He would shout:
"I'm bound to be rich! I'm
bound to be rich!"
His ambition then was to be
worth 100000 some day. 1t
seemed a princely sum. In the
march of his life, that was one
ambition he readily fulfilled,
trivial though it was in compari-
son with his later wealth.
BY 1862, Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania were oil crazy. It was
kerosene then, not the gasoline
that is the heart Of the indus
try nowadays.
Forms New Firm
Rockefeller lost no time. With
his partner, he formed a new
firm, leaving the wholesale gro
cery business for more fertile
fields. The firm was "Clark g.
Andrews, Petroleum RefinerS."
The Andrews was named Samuel,
also British, an expert techni-
clan. Andrews took care of the
work, John D. Rockefeller ap-
piled his natural, inherited trad
ing talents to the buying and
selling end.
BY 1865, the partners agreed
to put the business up for auc-
ton. Rockefeller himself bid it
in at $72,5OO.
Perhaps right at the precise
point, the historians finger may
rest upon the moment when
John Dawson Rockefeller, New
York farm boy, swung onto the
road that was to make him rank
with the Indian potentate, the
Nizam of Hyderabad, as one Of
the richest human beings on
earth.
The firm that had been

Everywhere cartoons depicted
"John D." in the worst possible
light. Politicians, the clergy.
spellbinders portrayed him as
enemy Of the people, betrayer Of
widows and orphans.

destined to live to become q
grand old man" In the words Of
countless editorials, q benefac-
tor whose charities and monu-
mentS reached from Radio City
to the reconstructed homes Of
Tokyo after the earthquake and
to the restored cathedral Of
Rheims.
Rockefeller's concern about
his health began in the first
decade Of the present century.
He had been q big bulk Of a man,
and had thought that un-
healthy. He purposely became
slighter, then stomach troubles
wore away his physique. At the
end of his life. the health Of his
tiny body was his greatest con-
Germ, next to his spiritual con-
tentment.
The $29. 900, 900 fine, inciden-
tally, was never paid, the Court

wife died, Rockefeller founded in
her memory the Laura Spelman

the kind Of benevolence in which
she had been most interested,
especially in aiding women and
children. To this he gave $751;

The next year, his brother,
William, joined him. With An

What was to be his great
corporate giant, the Standard

Wed a Spelman
He had married well and
unobtrusively in Cleveland, just
six years before Standard Oil
was incorporated. His wife was
Laura C. Spelman, a school
teacher who was the daughter
of Harvey B. Spelman, Cleve-
land merchant and leader in
temperance and antislavery
movements.
John Dawson Rockefeller did
not take a single day off from
business for his wedding or his
honeymoon. He was strictly de-
voted to business.
Sixty-Seven years ago, or at
the time Standard Oil was
formed, he was called "the most
adroit diplomat American busi-
ness has ever known" In the
three-score years to follow. he
never did anything to imperil
that Characterization.
Gains Control
BY 1872, John Dawson Rocke-
feller had control Of one-fifth
of the oil business IN the United
States. The history of the busi-
ness establishes that flat state
ment.
The Rockefeller companies
weren't confined to oil. They
were spreading into mining, steel,
iron, ore.

official figures today revealed
Rockefeller had given away $780,
1886 up to 1884.
During the first 80 years he was
in business, Rockefeller made most
of his benefactions through the
Baptist church, mostly on condi-
ton he would supply half the
sum needed if others interested
would give the other half.
In this manner the University
of Chicago, founded by the Ameri-
can Baptist Education Society in
1889, was begun with an initial
Rockefeller donation Of $500, 600.
BY 1910 he had given the uni

farm boy from upstate New
York. Here's the episode:
They found ore on the Mesaba
ranges. Rockefeller's interests
needed a whole fleet Of ships to
get it to the lower lake ports,
The shipbuilders were well aware
that he needed plenty Of new
ships.
Wanted One Ship
Rockefeller announced he
wanted to have one freight ship
built. He sent out the specifi.
cation for that ship. Said the
ShipbuilderS:
Here's our chance. Wen win
this contract for the one ship,
then we can get the order for
the others. He's got to have
lots Of ships. We can afford to
trim the price down ON this
one"
Each shipbuilder did Just that.
Each Of AZ shipbuilders pared
his price to the last nickel, so
that there was hardly any profit.
Then each shipbuilder rushed
the bid to Rockefeller.
Rockefeller sent q telegram to
every single one of the ~ build
ers, accepting the bid Of each.
In q single stroke he had con-
tracts which would provide him
with % ships! Rockefeller had
his fleet, the shipbuilders had
their sorrows.
Such skill as that inevitably
made millions easy for Rockefel-
Ter, so that at his first "retire-
ment," which was in the nine
ties, at the age of SIS, his ,esti-
mated fortune was $500, ,OOO,-
600. It probably was much more,
but that's the figure in history.

tanned it for many years, until
the time when the great ba-.
ronial estate at Pocantico Hills,
near Tarrytown, came into be-
ing.
With the turn Of the century
came the era Of "trust-busting."
The Standard Oil Company, by
then powerful beyond all be-
lief, was ordered dissolved in
1902, by court order.
The ordered dissolution meant
nothing to Rockefeller's power.

President Roosevelt said today
he would make a nationwide
radio talk the night of March 8
on the state of the nation. It is
expected by White House Off
Gals to include a discussion of
his court reorganization pro-

Although the President warned
not to go out on limb in predict

there were we'll founded indications
he would touch on that subject.
The speech will be for one half hour
beginning at 1920.
The radio companies will broadcast
it.
March is the day the Senate Judi
ciary Committee is scheduled to start
hearings on the Presidents judiciary
plans.
Mr. Roosevelt said he had no idea
what would go into his speech, except
it would touch on many problems af-

While his program will not come
before Congress officially until the
Senate hearing starts, a supplemental
measure providing for retirement of
Supreme Court justices was passed to-
day by the Senate.
The President told reporters Con-
gress must do something about stabi-

cost housing legislation should be
passed.
