Replying to counsel, the wealthy witness said: In 1117 all the warehouses, refineries and sales business of Rockefeller and Andrews was entirely baorbed by Rockefeller and Flagler." Attorney Milburn naked: "Waa Flagler a new acquisition to the company?" Rockefeller replied, that "Flagler was a man of large business capacity and was a valuable addition to the firm."

Rockefeller explained the absorption pf subsidiary companies to make barrels, etc., tbat the standard company was unable to purchase these necessary articles anywhere, so It was found more expedient for the corporation to manufacture them Itself.
