Standard Oil Books Vanish From Vaults in New York Case
Government counsel Kellogg sought production of two books detailing 1892 to 1899 stock transactions by the Standard Oil Co of New Jersey forming control over nineteen allied concerns. The ledger and stock book vanished from 26 Broadway after liquidation in 1900, with company officials unable to explain. Testimony tied the disappearances to trust-led manipulations and agreements forcing independents to buy crude from Standard, aiming to suppress rivals and control pipelines and refineries.
