and if someone went up to john d. rockefeller and asked a question going back over time we don't have our claims and we can't hope you with that. so it wasn't easy to try to piece together the role of the magnolia and oil companies. i did not find it very much visitinvery muchvisiting the stl archives in austin texas but the library of congress has a lot of books and that is certainly a source. henry often remained under the radar in terms of being the face of standard oil. he was by nature a very shy and reserved person and he gave only one interview in his life. whereas rockefeller bore the brunt of representing the company into being the object of scrutiny by journalists such as ida tarbell and others. folger was indicted in texas with other high-ranking executives at standard oil. but they were not convicted and they did not serve any time. so the best i try to do in chapter three is to bring out the importance of the one oil company which heretofore generally hadn't been associated with folger or the fact that al

one week after henry graduated from college he started working for john d. rockefeller at the standard oil co.. he started as a statistical clerk. he was one of the few college graduates in standard oil. he resigned after 49 years in the firm. his last two positions were president and chairman of the board of standard oil co. of new york. he was also a director of standard oil co. of new jersey. became mobile, standard oil co. of new jersey became exxon. so you have an idea of how well he did since he heavily followed rockefeller's advice to invest heavily in the firm. i was saying you go where the story leads you. one of the archives i had to visit was the rockefeller archive in sleepy hollow, new york. another one i had to visit was the standard oil archives at the university of texas. so i had made a conscious decision that i would not only write about how and the twelfth spend his money but how he earned it. i thought that would make sense and it would be interesting and fill in the gatt for some readers. those who are particularly interested in the busi
