	The Standard Oil monopoly, by the Linux Information Project (LINFO)
		The effects of Standard Oil on the U.S., as well as on much of the rest of the world, were immense, and the lessons that can be learned from this amazing story are possibly as relevant today as they were a century ago.
		The company continued to prosper and expand its empire, and, in 1882, all of its properties and those of its affiliates were merged into the Standard Oil Trust, which was, in effect, one huge organization with tremendous power but a murky legal existence.

	THE HISTORY OF THE STANDARD OIL COMPANY
		If the railroad and lake transportation men would but adopt as liberal a policy toward the oil freights of Cleveland as the Pennsylvania Railroad was adopting toward that of Pittsburg, aided by her natural advantages the town was bound to become the greatest oil refining centre in the United States.
		Between three and four million dollars were invested in oil refineries, and the town was receiving within 35,000 barrels of as much oil as New York City, and within 300,000 as much as Pittsburg, and it was boasting that the next year it would outstrip these competitors, which, as a matter of fact, it did.
		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.

	John D Rockefeller and Standard Oil. The nightmare begins...
		Oil, of course, is free at source, so once the investment in refining and extraction plant has been made the only really important cost was transportation.
		Rockefeller applied the fruitful idea of the South Improvement Company to the Standard Oil Company of Ohio, a prosperous oil refinery of Cleveland, with a capital of 41,000,000 and a daily capacity for handling 1,500 barrels of crude oil.
