Description oldmoney4u Store Standard Oil Trust J D Rockefeller & C A Griscom auto. Description 211The item in the photo is the EXACT item you will receive.State: New York. Years: 1886.John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937), Industrialist, Philanthropist. Rockefeller formed the first oil trust at the age of 30. Ten years later he monopolized 85% of the industry and became the world’s first billionaire. He hated waste and inefficiency. As a result he would target poorly run segments of the industry. He would often drive poorly run competition out of business or buy them out. He became the most detested man in the country and had a bodyguard continuously around him. Rockefeller gave 3/4 of a billion dollars to science and education. In one of the 1st public relations campaigns in history, Rockefeller would give a shiny new dime to whomever he would meet. Griscom was quite a Financier. He was President of International Navigation Co., also owned practically all of the stock of Red Star Line, a Belgian Corp, International Navigation Co. of Liverpool England, and Empire Transportation Company, Seattle. In 1902, the name of the International Navigation Co was changed to International Mercantile Marine Co. and capital increased to acquire fleets and businesses of the White Star Line and several others. Of course, White Star Line owned the Titanic! Ironically, Griscom died in November of 1912 just a few months after the sinking of the Titanic! Signed on the front by J.D. Rockefeller and on the back by Griscom.Do you wish you would have stocked up on obsolete currency years ago when they were really cheap?
