A very rare copy of this, the first appearance of The War on the Rebate, Chapter 1 of Part 2 of Ida Tarbell's ground-breaking History of the Standard Oil Company. This 14-page chapter includes a one-page illustration of J.D. Rockefeller by George Varian, plus photos of William C. Scofield, Daniel Shurmer, John Teagle, George Rice, and Benjamin Butler. This chapter deals with organized espionage, the Scofield-Shurmer-Teagle Case, and related matters. With this work, Tarbell invented what we know today as investigative journalism. She was motivated to expose the methods of J.D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil as she felt he had unfairly damaged her father's oil business. The New York University Department of Journalism ranked this study as the fifth best work of 20th-century American journalism. Also contained in this issue is an intersting article entitled The Lone Fighter, by Ray Stannard Baker, which argues the U.S. is not a free country and Americans are not free, due to labor bosses, and government by and for 'The Bosses". Binding intact. Unmarked. Above-average but not excessive external wear. Moderate moisture exposure. Dozens of pages of glorious illustrated ads. A sound vintage copy. Book

1927910Whiting In 1927. About very good. 119 leaves printed on rectos only; interleaved with fifteen additional leaves containing pasted brochures and ephemera. Small folio. Original half cloth and boards brad-bound; one brad lacking. Cloth worn hinges tender. Light soiling and wear to contents. Wonderful mimeographed handbook produced for and distributed to bulk station operators of Standard Oil of Indiana a subdivision of the original Standard Oil trust. Standard Oil of Indiana covered a broad territory ranging across Indiana Illinois Michigan Wisconsin Minnesota the Dakotas Iowa Kansas and Missouri. The first three leaves draw the reader in: "Stop! Look! Read! / YOU can make more money / This book show YOU how. Let's you and I read it over very carefully and see how it can help us." There follows a page discussing "What is a Salesman" and a discussion of the products Standard offers and why they're the best. Each page is printed with illustrations and a small amount of text -- easy to comprehend like a children's book and certainly designed to be used in one's sales pitch. Bulk station operators were charged with maintaining large storage tanks of gasoline or oil distributing large shipments of product to farmers and other small-scale businesses across the Midwest. This particular book belonged to agent Alf Anderson of Viroqua Wisconsin a remote village on the eastern end of the state near the borders with Iowa and Minnesota. In addition to Standard's iconic brands of fuel and motor oil such as Red Crown and Vis operators like Anderson were also charged with marketing a wide array of additional products made by Standard many of which are advertised in the brochures pasted to the additional leaves within this volume. These include Eureka Harness Oil Eureka Belt Dressing Cream Separator Lubricant Mica Axle Grease Neolite Burning Oil Perfection Kerosene KIP Insecticide and more. A mimeo production chock full of sales tactics and tips for the enterprising agent with the promise of success as reward for careful study. Rare with unique components. unknown books
