John D. Rockefeller：Random Reminiscences of Men and Events, Excerpt 25

My methods of attending to business matters differed from those of most well-conducted merchants of my time and allowed me more freedom. Even after the chief affairs of the Standard Oil Company were moved to New York, I spent most of my summers at our home in Cleveland, and I do still. I would come to New York when my presence seemed necessary, but for the most part I kept in touch with the business through our own telegraph wires, and was left free to attend to many things which interested me--among others, the making of paths, the planting of trees, and the setting out of little forests of seedlings.
