The Russian Rockefellers
Tolf, Robert W.; · 2 highlights
“By 1916 Nobel owned, controlled, or had substantial interest in companies producing a third of all Russian crude oil, 40 percent of all the refined, and supplying almost two-thirds of domestic consumption. There were more than four hundred tank farms and depots flying the Nobel banner and the company commanded the largest private fleet in the world.”
“The Nobel Brothers Petroleum Company was the innovator and the leader: the others followed, first in the empire and then in Europe and in Asia.”
