May 17, 1911
NEW YORK TRIBUNE, May 17, 1911
* Standard Oil Supreme Court Decision
* Monopoly The Verdict
* John D. Rockefeller
This 14 page newspaper has a one column headlines on the front page that include: "STOCKS GO UP AS SUSPENSE IS ENDED", "World of Finance Disposed to Rejoice at Terms of Standard Oil Decision" and more (see photos).
Other news of the day including period advertising. Usual browning with some margin wear, but otherwise in good condition. Should be handled with care.
wikipedia notes: In May of 1911, the US Supreme Court upheld the lower court judgment and declared the Standard Oil group to be an "unreasonable" monopoly under the Sherman Antitrust Act. It ordered Standard to break up into 34 independent companies with different boards of directors.
Standard's president, John Rockefeller, had long since retired from any management role. But, as he owned a quarter of the shares of the resultant companies, and those share values mostly doubled, he emerged from the dissolution as the richest man in the world.
