(It was just at this time, as Mr. Rockefeller relates, that he built a brick house for 
his father, taking entire charge ofthe plans, contracts, construction, etc. The 
house remained in possession of the family till last year.) 
John D. Rockefeller’s Reminiscences 
begin in the October issue of The World’s Work — 
Mr. Rockefeller has finished his reminiscences and they will appear in The World’s 
Work during the fall and winter. His narrative would be of prime interest even from 
an unknown man. As it is, the story will be a revelation to the reading public. 
Mr. Rockefeller 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. ‘The pictures will add greatly to the interest of the story. In many 
cases they are’historical. 
The first chapter will include these subjects: 
The Reason for Preparing the Reminiscences. The American Business Man. 
The Standard Oil Company. The World’s Work The Story of Neighbor Foley.
