Standard Oil Company (Ohio)

But the thing that's going to get them in trouble, and we'll get into this in a second, is distrust that they've built.

It's not just, so we started with Standard Oil of Ohio, but there's going to be Standard Oil of New Jersey.

There's going to be Standard Oil of blah, blah, blah, all these different states.

And there's a lot of laws in the US that you can't, at this time at least, you can't be an owner of these companies essentially across state lines.

You have to have some sort of separation.

And by moving them all into this trust, they're basically saying, look, these are all independent companies, Standard Oil of Ohio and Standard Oil of New Jersey, separate companies.

Yeah, they have the same name, but they're separate companies.

But ultimately, they're taking orders and direction from Standard Oil Trust.

You know, it's funny.

I stopped at Sohio this morning, too.

How'd that go?
