SLEW THE B1C JABBERWOCK
Tnio Story of the Han Who Got the Best of
the Standard Oil Company.
SMOOTH, CLEVLR WQBK OF JIM BROWN
Took the Rockefeller Oetopne or the
Cilia and Made It Sweat Blood
Alao , Borne Good
llODf.
A popular magaxlne recently publlehed
tho portrait of an aggressive looking young
man with the caption that this wan the
only man who had over "successfully
fought" tho Standard OH company.
Aa I looked upon his highly intelligent
feature and tho long minus of that young
man Jaw, I recalled the face of another
man with a long Jaw who, although he
nevr had the honor of having his portrait
printed aa a "nuccensful fighter" of tlio
Standard Oil conpaay, would have no
trouble, did he need It (which he doesn't),
In HFCurlng a letter from the big company
recommending him aa one of tho brightest
buHlnena men In American industrial his
tory. The general public notion of what the
Standard Oil company really la l cloudy.
By reading the magnxlncs one would aomo
tlmea fancy that It was a kind of Jabber
wock or Jub-Jub dragon, the legitimate ma
terial for tho Industrial sword of the young
American knight. But James Brown, whose
story will be told here, had no notions of
that kind. Brown waa one of the many
mm tho hundreda of men who "auccese
fully fought" the Standard and who
thereby gained the good will and even
frle idvhlp of at least one of the largest
stockholders of the company.
It waa not so long ago that Brown did
It; and the way he did it will be a revela
tion to Mlsa Tarbell and others who have
written about the Standard without know
ing much of the technique of business af
fairs. The story of Brown Is a story for
young men who have ambitions not to let
the grass grow tinder their feet, and en
tirely apart from Its curiously Interesting
facts it has the merit of being unassallably
true.
Started aa Errand Boy.
Mr. Brown wna bred In New York City,
where ho started in life as an errand boy.
lie saved his pennies, secured a situation
In the office of an oil company In Pennsyl
vania, und late" became an officer of the
concern. Brown had In him the principal
element of business success, which, by the
way, Is not tho mere love of money, but
the love of doing business for the sake of
the business itself. He had found It a
rather dlfHcult matter to compete with the
Standard In the east and he packed up his
clothes and came west. I cannot reveal
tho name of the city he selected for the
pent of war, but It will suffice to say that
It waa one of the largest cities In America
and not a thousand miles away from Chi
cago. The Standard wna represented there
by the largest of tho formerly Independent
oil concerns tho other concerns had been
obliterated by the competition. Brown se
lected his city with great wisdom, as the
after event proved, and wisely began hi
operations In a small way. Ills Intention
waa to use the entire product of hie re.
finery to "fight" the Standard at this one
point.
Brown opened a amall depot and during
the first six months of his work he busied
himself In securing teams and a few sales
men to sell his oil on commission. Then he
had printed a number of circulars, which
he sent to all the retail grocers, his first
purpose being to advertise himself not his
coal oil, by the way, but James Brown.
"Talk about Mr. Brown," he aald to hla
salesmen. "Tell 'em what a great and good
man Mr. Brown Is. Work 'em up about
me, ao they'll all be glad to meet me."
Brown offered hla oil, at first, at the
regular Standard prices, which waa high
at that point, owing to competition elae
whore; ao that Brown had a good margin
to cut into when the time came for price
war.
Raisins; Price of Barrels.
Meanwhile he looked around and found
mai me munuara people were paying 40
cents apiece for empty oil barrels. Brown
let It get around that ho would pay 45. Up
came the Standard people's bid of course.
Then Brown offered 65, and then 86 when
his bid waa not raised. This competition
In old barrels brought out a wonderful fact.
The Standard company had been buying
few empty barrels, and paid so low a price
for Ihem, when they did buy, that, the
trade In empty barrela waa practically dead.
Tho etandard had a contract with tho
biggest cooperage factory In tho town for
250 new oil barrela per day which Just up
plled their wants eo that they had really
little use for old barrels. And, In fact, 40
cents waa a good price for the used barrela.
But Brown'a bidding- up the price started
the market going, and of course the stand
ard people rained him right along on prin
ciple. They didn't want the old barrela,
but they couldn't atay out of the market;
they couldn't stand by and see their com
petitor get barrels on the spot; and cheap
barrels, too, which would help him to sell
oil all the more cheaply. Now, Brown did
not need many barrela, and. he soon had
all he wanted, but he kept the ball rolling
Just the same, and the result waa that
more old oil barrela than anybody believed
existed came to the top and rolled by the
thousands into the market.
"It looks," said Brown one day, with a
chuckle, "that the people of this town
carry oil barrels la their pocketa."
Up soared the price, higher and higher
and when It got to 96 Brown quit. "I guees
I'va got 'em all out," he aald, "and Vll
let the Standard take 'em at a dollar even.
They are worth about SO oents to me, and
they are a dead, loss to the Standard."
And ao they were. But the Standard took
them at a dollar and had to rent an acre
lot to atore them. Those old barrels were
for several years thereafter a landmark In
the town. They were piled In a pyramid
thousands and thousands of them, many
of them actually shipped from other cities
-that rivaled the pyramid at Olsah in
(Blse. And there they stayed a monument
to Brown's, victory until one night a lot
of mischievous boys set fire to them, to
the great relief of everybody. Including
the owners of them. Thus Brown euchred
hla bif rival at the first cams.
Winning the Teamsters.
Having cleaned up the barrela, Baown
began to work In another direction. He
had hired tea teamatera (the Standard peo
ple haff"a hundred or more), and he treated
hla teamsters aa if they belonged to the
forelga nobility. He paid them 117 a week,
to tht Standard s 81. and ha .gave each
of them an extra holiday with pay every
two weeks.
Brown could do this without lose; and' he
icl?ental!y made each of hla teamatera a
'Jvlng advertisement and active gent The
teamatera talked of him aa If he were a
god and the retail grocers began to think
that a New York prince had coma to live
in the town. "Mr. Brown" became a watch
word. But that waa not all. Brown'a
teamsters talked with the Statndard team
sters, and told them how Brown waa treat
ing them. Iljseontent apread among the
Standard's drivers and they, ral4 on the
lo.;al president and laid a "grievance" be
fore him. The Standard did not rare to go
to air with Its teamatera although it could
Kiv not thousands of men to Ml the Jobs
fcut the old teamatera were' useful, and
Twn was beginning to hire the Stand-
ard'a men, so that the Standard met
Brown'a wogea and raised him a dollar, to
offset the extra holiday.
Things were beginning to hum, and aoon
there occurred the event that Brown had
ben waiting for. The Standard cut the
price of oil! Brown met the cut. Then the
Standard cut again, nnd again Brown met
It. But before they could cut It the third
time Brown made the masterstroke which
he had been reserving all along, and to
which nil his other tactics were mere pre
liminaries. Organising the Grocers.
There was In the town a Retail Grocera'
and Butcliera' association, the chief purpose
of which was apparently to give an annual
picnic. Now Brown had no use for the
butchers. Butchers did not buy coal oil.
But Ills heart went to the grocers, and he
whs now Efficiently known to them by re-
rute to meet them personally and to strike
the "death blow" to the Standard Jabber
wock. He drove In hla handaome 8000
bi'ggy and high-bred fast horse to about a
hundred of the leading retail gncers and
mad friends of them. Next he drove to
smaller groceries, shook hands with the
proprletora and helped himself to cheese
and crackers. Brown was one of the most
magnetic fellows In the world, and he
looked like a millionaire. All of which
made the grocera hia friends. Next he or
ganised the Retail Grocers' association,
leaving the butchers out, and the fight waa
on in the last round.
Frr (WD vnr ltrin p:ivert the grocers
to tc limit. Me wot tho soul .if the nn
nual picnic. H took a grocer now and
hen i"t .1 drive in the petk H t'",l
the grocers' children on the head, kissed
their grownup daughter smack, nnd. In
short, waa the prince that ho had been ad
vertised to be.
Result: When the Standard cut below
tho profit line Brown staid firm at the old
price, and laughed In the face of his com
pjtitors. The grocera bought his oil at a
higher price In preference to the Stand
ard's at a lower price, and the Standnrd
wagons went home full every day. This
sort of thing went on for a year, and then
the Standard, people sent for Brown. Would
he callT No, Brown wouldn't call.' He wns
a busy man. And ao the time went on until
the Standard felt that It iwas not atrong
enough to compete with a man who had
made himself an exception to the lawa of
trade, and who could do business on a
basis of personal popularity. Brown had
the trade of the town and the' Standard of
the country. But the Standard was losing
right and left,' and eventually offered to
make Brown its foreign agent, with offices
in London.
I do not know how the thing eventually
adjusted Itself, but the fact was that
Brown gradually retired from the oil busi
ness with enough money to build himself a
magnificent palace on the edge of town and
to become one of the leading citizens of the.
place. Georgo P. Tyrone in -Chicago Trib

Liverpool, Minneapolis and Milwaukee
ttnote Nearly Two Cents Rise on
Wheat Corn Firmer
Goaslp on Stocks.
OMAHA, Oct 8, 1904.
Local grain markets were closed. In ac
cord with the Chicago closing, for the
observance of "Chicago day" at the St.
Louis exposition. From the few markets
that were doing buslnessa. Milwaukee and
Minneapolis. It was plainly seen that the
great liquidation of Friday had cleared
me speculative atmosphere In wheat ana
had also heiped corn. There were millions
of long wheat liquidated yesterdsy and the
establishment of a short Interest was for
the betterment of the market generally.
The first note of healthier conditions came
this morning from Liverpool, where there
was a sharp advance on the efforts of the
ahorts there to transfer their profits from
paper to cash. This brought l'14c ad
vance there.
Milwaukee started the advance In Ameri
can markets with a Jump from an opening
at 81.08 to 1. 0 for the December fu
ture, and then a slight reaction, these fig
ures comparing with 81.08S at the close
yesterday. May opened at I1.C94, a gain
of He, and kept the strength throughout,
touching 81-loH and closing slightly below
the outside figures. December corn was
fractionally higher there and the May fu
ture was also firmer.
Minneapolis responded with an advance
to $1.12 for December wheat, as compared
with Friday's close at 81.101,; May aovanc
lng to 81.134, or 2c a bushel.
The shorts made considerable effort to
cover In Duluth and New York and the
tone at the close was diametrically op
posite that of last night.
Commercial Oosntp.
Minneapolis says: "Understaiid about
lOO.OtiO barrels of flour sold yetf'erdny, ten
of It for export."
J. Ogden Armour said yeterd.-iy: "I
look for lower prices for both wheat nnd
corn. As to the situation In provl.-iona it
seems to be quite healthy."
Exchange Grain Company BradstioMs

The decline has amounted to about 51il'c

directions.
Minneapolis wire anld: "The traveling
superintendent of the Royal Elevator
company, operating on the Soo road nays
the wheat crop from Enderlln to Foriul
will average eighteen bushels to the acre."
Edwards, Wood 4 Co. say: "Nothing
has developed over night to stimulate a,
movement In the stock market In either di
rection. The Indications favor an Irregular
market, with profit taking usual to the
evening up at the end of the week and
some selling In anticipation of a bad bank
statement. Continued heavy bulng of
Reading Is looked for and this promises
to hold any selling movement in the gen
eral market In check. Tne Harriman
stocks are receiving support, but the buy
ing of them is not aggressive. A further
advance in Amalgamated Copper preferred
Is promised.

CATTLE There were a few cattle In the
yards thin morning, but no quotable change
in tho market took place. For ri week
receipts have been rather IIrM as there
is a decrease as compared with last week
amounting to about 11,000 head and as
compared with the same week of !ast year
the falling off amounts to about 6,000 head.
In view of the light supply the tendency
of prices has been upward.
Corn fed steers have been In light supply
and with a good demand the market has
ruled active anil strong on all desirable,
grades. As high as $6.06 has been paid
and something strictly prime would un
doubtedly bri ig more then that. Common
stuff such as comes in competition with
westerns has not shown much change.
Good' to choice cattle may be quoted from
$5.75 to $6.15, fair to good, $5.0ojo $5.75 and
the shorter fed cattle sell fronr $5.00 down.
There has been a liberal sprinkling of
western range beef steers in the receipts
all the week, hut the demand has been
fully equal to the supply and since Mon
day prices have advanced fully a quarter.
Thla gain Just about makes up for the
loss of last week, so that prices are In
murh the same notches they were two
weeks ago. Good to choice grades mav be
quoted from $3.75 to $4.50; fair to good,
$3.26 to $3.75, and common to fair from
$2.75 to $3.25.
The cow market has advanced even more
than steers, as supplies have been mod
erate for the time of year nnd the demand
quite liberal. Trailing has ruled active
all the week and prices show a net gain
of 26fi40c. This carries the market back
to where It was before the severe break
last week. All kinds are in good demand,
from canners to the choicest grades, so
that a good clearance has been made each
day. Good U choice kinds may be quoted
from $2.75 tiF$3.15; fair to good, $2.26ft 2.75,
and canners and cutters from $1.75 to $2.25.
Bulls are a little higher for the week
where the nualitv is at all good. Common
kinds, though, have not shown much Im-H
provement. Veal calves are also a little
higher, the best grades selling up to $5.50.
The supply of Blockers and feeders has
been limited this week and with a fairly
good demand the market has ruled active
and strong all the week. Light cattle
in particular have sold to good advantage,
so that the decline of last week has been
reg.'fned. Farmers seem to have made up
their minds that at the prices ruling on
stockers and feeders they are a good In
vestment nnd consequently purchases have
been more liberal. The top price . of the
week was $3.95. paid for 1 very prime,
high grade bunch of Polled Angus steers.
Good to choice feeders could be quoted
from $3.50 to- $4.00; fair to good. $3.00 to
$3.50, and commoner kinds from $3.V down.

HOGS Receipts of hogs were not heavy
this niornine. hut the tendency of prices
continued downward, ns packers were bear
ish at nil points. 1 no mai'Ket nere couiu
be quoted weak to a nickel lower. The bulk
nf the hoes nolo! from 15.52V, to $5.671A. with
n top at 85.60. Trading wns not very active
nnd nestaea tnnt trains were very mow in
arriving, o that it was late before the
market came to a close. After packers had
their more urgent orders tilled they seemed
to be even more bearish, so thnt the later
sales were largely around a nickel lower.
Receipts for the week have been fairly
liberal for the time ot year, being slightly
In excess of last week and as compared
with the same week 01 last year there Is an
increase ot about 13,"i) head. Prices have
moved steadily downward and a net loss
tor tne week amounting to about 20c I
noted. lackers are now looking more at
quality than at weight, so that the rnnge
ot prices is not nearly so wlue as was tne
case a short time ago. Representative

SHEEP There were a few bunches of
sheep iu the yards this morning, but no
quotable change In the market took place.
For the week receipts have been very lib
eral, there being1 a gain over 'nst week
amounting to abotit 4,000 head and as com
pared with the same week of last year
there Is also a slight gain. The den-and for
good stuff, however, has been fully equal
to the siufly.
Owing to the fart thnt the quality of the
offerings this week has not been very good
the proportion of desirable fat sheep to the
total receipts has been smnll. Packers have
all had liberal orders to fill and as a re
sult the market on good to choice fat sheep
may be quoted steady and active. The sup
ply of fair to medium killers hns been large
arid such kinds are perhaps around a dime
lower than they were a ween ago,
Ijimbs have arrived quite freely and in
lie big end ot tne receipts nas ueeu
made up of lambs. Desirable- killers, bow-
ever, have sold at Just about ateady prices
all the week, with the commoner kinds a
little weak. .
Feeding sheep may be quoted active and
ateady, as a large number of buyers have
beenm the market every day. Good feed
ing lambs hnve also sold In much the same
notches they did last week, but lightweight
lambs, of which there have been a good
litany, have eased off 1525c.
