| | Standard Oil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Standard's oil production as a percentage of total market supply fell to 11 percent by 1911, down from 34 percent in 1898. | | | Standard Oil's market position had been established through aggressively competitive (some say anti-competitive) business practices including a systematic program of offering to purchase competitors. | | | The main product of the oil business was kerosene, which was rapidly supplanting whale oil as the choice fluid for oil lamps due to its lower cost. |

| | The Making of a Monopoly: Standard Oil Company |
| | For Standard’s economic theory, the policy of a monopoly was not to increase price to maximum levels, which might invite competition, but to direct their efforts at keeping the profit margin stable even as there are attendant falls in production cost. | | | If Standard used a pipeline, transportation costs would only be sixteen-cents a barrel $1.25 at that time. | | | If for instance a grocer didn’t want to by from Standard Oil, he would be approached by one of Rockefeller’s “independent sellers” as an alternative supplier. |

| | The trustees elected the directors and officers of each of the component companies, and all of the profits of those companies were sent to the trustees, who decided the dividends. | | | Although the scale of Rockefeller's charitable activities was certainly impressive, it was likely small in comparison to the total costs imposed on the economy and society from the anti-competitive business practices of Standard Oil. | | | Particularly noteworthy among the muckrakers was Ida M. Tarbell, whose 1902 series of articles detailed the ruthless business tactics of Standard Oil and its abuse of natural resources. |

| | THE HISTORY OF THE STANDARD OIL COMPANY |
| | Indeed nothing could have stopped the Standard Oil Company in 1870-the oil business being what it was-but an entire change in the nature of the members of the firm, and they were not the kind of material which changes. | | | Flagler, however, the only member of the firm who has been examined under oath on that point, showed, by presenting :the contract of the Standard Oil Company with the Lake Shore road in 1870, that the rates varied during the year from $I.40 to $I.20 and $I.60, according to the season. | | | The report Of the Cleveland Board of Trade for 1866 gives the number of plants at the end of that year as fifty, and it dilates eloquently on the advantages of Cleveland as a refining point over even Pittsburg, to that time supposed to be the natural centre for the business. |
