SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, California, May 16, 1911 One of the more significant Supreme Courts cases of the 20th century which impacted the way business operated was the case of "Standard Oil of New Jersey vs. the United States". In this case the Supreme Court of the United States found Standard Oil guilty of monopolizing the petroleum industry through a series of abusive and anti-competitive actions. The court's remedy was to divide Standard Oil into several competing firms.
The front page headline proclaims the historic decision: "Standard Oil An Illegal Trust And Must Be Dissolved" with a banner subhead: "Supreme Court of United States Upholds the Contention of Government" with other one column subheads (see). The text carries over to page 2 as well.
