The Rockefellers



-Keep a ledger to keep value of your money and see where it goes
-When asked what he was going to do he said nothing with a profession but he said he would make $100,000
- Was not concerned about the fortune he made but the fortune he saved
-Bought and forced out many business, when he did, he offered them cash or shares
-Developed a black college in Atlanta
-Donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to West Ham College, where he went
-Had a piece of every company created from standard oil
-Just as market closed because of the invention of electric light, a new market opened with the automobile                                      
-Sought out to change his reputation from a cutthroat business man to a thoughtful sympathetic man
