By John D. Archbold
Vice-President
u
I say,with the utmost frankness, that I now
believe the policy of silence which the,
company maintained for so many years,
amid the misrepresentations which assailed
it, was a mistaken policy, which, if earlier
abandoned, would have saved the com
pany from the injurious effects of much
of that misrepresentation.”
John D. Archbold,
Vice-President Standard Oil Company.
