The Reminiscences of 
John D. Rockefeller 
Begin in an early number, probably the 
October Number of The Worlds Work 
OR many years there has been no more interesting announcement made than that Mr. Rockefeller has prepared his Reminis- 
cences for publication. But while this announcement is most important, the extraordinary character of the narrative which 
Mr. Rockefeller gives to the public is of far greater interest. 
Not a Dull Line 
The life of even the greatest man of business affairs might be thought a sober narrative, but there is not a dull line in this story. 
The charm of style comes from a simple and direct story told by a man whose mind is full, and whose ideas are clear and direct. 
The great range of topics touched by Mr. Rockefeller will, we are sure, come as a surprise to the reader, showing as it does 
the wide extent of his life’s activities. He fully and freely discusses the Standard Oil Company and the aspects so much in the public 
eye. He tells of his business career, his pleasures, his ideas about forestry, golf, and kindred subjects, of his wonderful experiences in 
the ore trade, when he made a large fortune out of a plan where he faced great loss. He tells of his early friends and struggles to 
get capital, of the beginnings and building up of the oil trade. Mr. Rockefeller in no instance writes a defense, he relates simply and 
directly what happened, and the reader is left to draw his own conclusions.
