Quote of the Day: Rockefeller's Inner Conflicts

Quote of the Day:

Ron Chernow

A couple of interesting insights into the inner conflict that was 'Rockefeller':

"To cope with excess production, many in Saginaw salt companies opted for cooperation and joined a cartel arrangement to try to prop up salt prices, providing a precedent for Standard Oil."-pg. 107 Titan
"It is deeply ironic that Rockefeller, a staunch temperance, got one of his most significant cash infusions from questionable gains in liquor." pg. 108 Titan
