Nevertheless, to-day, as at the start, the purpose of the Standard Oil Company is the purpose of the South Improvement Company — the regulation of the price of crude and refined oil by the control of the output; and the chief means for sustaining this purpose is still that of the original scheme — a control of oil transportation giving special privileges in rates.

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
