The cause leading to the formation of this firm was the desire to unite our skill and capital in order to carry on a business of greater magnitude with economy and efficiency in place of the smaller business that each had heretofore conducted separately. As time went on and the possibilities became apparent, we found further capital to be necessary; then we interested others and organized the Standard Oil Company, with a capital of $1,000,000. Later we saw that more money could be utilized, found persons who were willing to invest with us, and increased our capital to $2,500,000, in 1872, and afterward in 1874 to $3,500,000. As the business grew, and markets were obtained at home and abroad, more persons and capital were added to the business, and new corporate agencies were obtained or organized, the object being always the same--to extend our operations by furnishing the best and cheapest products.

白话
洛克菲勒说，他们合伙成立公司，是想把各自的技能和资金合在一起，用更省钱、更高效的方式做更大的生意，而不是各自小打小闹。随着生意扩大，他们发现需要更多本钱，就引入外部投资者，成立了资本100万美元的标准石油公司。后来看到资金还能派上更大用场，又找到愿意投资的人，1872年增资到250万美元，1874年再增到350万美元。生意越做越大，国内外市场都打开了，就不断加入新的人和资本，成立或收购新的公司机构，目标始终没变：用最好、最便宜的产品把业务铺开。
