law providing minimum wages,
maximum hours and a bun on pro

able industrial careers in history. Inset is his son, John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., who succeeded to the management of his
father's vast financial interests years ago.
Rockefeller Started With Nothing
at 16, Made Enormous Fortune and
Gave Away at
John Davison Rockefeller spent
the first half of his life making
money and the last half giving it
away.
"1 believe it Is n duty," he said
many times, "for a man to get all
the money he honestly can and to
give away all he can."
His careor described an almost
perfect arc.
At the age of 3(i he began with
nothing. He was paid $60 for his
first three months' work, as as
sistant bookkeeper In a produce
commission warehouse on the lake
front in Cleveland, O.
Py the tlmo he had reached
middle age he had amassed what
many persons believed to be the
largest fortune ever controlled by
a private individual in the history
of the world. '
At the age of 57 ho began to
withdraw from active business life
and started giving money away. In
35 years he gave away consider
ably more than half a billion dol
lars, and one of IiIh associates
remarked that tho world would bo
surprised at tho comparatively
small estnto he would leave when
ho died. '
The size of Mr. Rockefeller's
fortune has been a subject for
