Rockefeller Puts His Surplus Into Railroads

Rockefeller testified he held most Standard Oil bonds and only small stock in some railroads. He owned 256,854 shares of Standard Oil of New Jersey in 1899, worth about 170.7 million at current prices, and said the company needed to loan large sums as banks could not always supply funds. Archbold, as Standard vice president, detailed oil production, pipelines, mileage growth, and storage, noting 85 million barrels stored awaiting use and that demand often lagged behind supply.
