Never Worrles on Business Rockefeller has long ceased wor- rying over business but he does have a lively interest in what goes on. Within the year he has demonstrat- ed that he still can strike when his blows are needed. When his son, | John D. Rockefeller, Jr., was en- gaged in his famous contest with Col. Robert Stewart for control of the Standard Oil Company of In- diana, word was passed quite gen- erally that the elder Rockefeller was a friend of Stewart.

In Oil Busine In 1858 Rockefeller and Morr B. Clark were able to start a com- mission house of their own. Oil had just been discovered in Pennsylva- | nia.
