OH. 1970. Specimen. 2 different 8 1/2% Registered Bonds, due 2000.

Standard Oil began as an Ohio partnership formed by the well-known industrialist John D. Rockefeller, his brother William Rockefeller, Henry Flagler, chemist Samuel Andrews, and a silent partner Stephen V. Harkness. In 1870, the Standard Oil Company was incorporated in Ohio. This would later become Sohio, and was the leading organization in the Standard Oil Trust for many years. Using highly effective and widely criticized tactics, Standard Oil absorbed or destroyed most of its competition in Cleveland, Ohio, then throughout the northeastern United States. In 1882, they combined their disparate companies, spread across dozens of states, under a single group of trustees. This organization proved so successful that othe giant enterprises adopted this "trust" from. At the same time, state and federal laws sought to counter this development with "anti-trust" laws. Ohio successfully sued Standard Oil, compelling the dissolution of the trust in 1892. Eventually, New Jersey changed its incorporation laws to allow a single company to hold shares in other companies in any state. In 1899, the Standard Oil Trust was legally reborn as a holding company, a corporation known as the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. SCBNC. XF.
