Answer 1

Source:
This cartoon by Udo J. Keppler appeared in Puck magazine on September 7, 1904. A Standard Oil storage tank is an octopus with tentacles wrapped around the steel, copper, and shipping industries, a state house, the U.S. Capitol, and has one tentacle reaching for the White House. Its caption reads, "Next!"

"Next!" Puck magazine, 1904.

Which two of the facts below might help explain Keppler’s depiction of Standard Oil?


By the 1880s, Standard Oil had become the largest oil refiner in the country, controlling access to 90 percent of the refined oil in the US.


In 1911, the Supreme Court ruled that Standard Oil had to be split into several smaller companies.

By the early 1890s, there were more than 4,000 millionaires in America, and most of them claimed to be self-made men.



Throughout the year 1904, investigative journalist Ida Tarbell published her famous series of articles on Standard Oil, mostly critiquing the company's ruthless practices.

Answer 16

"This political cartoon from 1904 well demonstrates American fears about the Standard Oil Company's vast and growing power over the American government. With arms already wrapped around the steel, copper, and shipping industries; the United States Capitol; and a state capital building; it now stretches out yet another tentacle over the White House. Such fears were not new in 1904. Back in 1881, Henry Lloyd Demarest quipped in the Atlantic Monthly, that “The Standard has done everything with the Pennsylvania legislature, except refine it.” "
