Standard Oil Co. of Ohio - 1870-80's dated Check of John D. Rockefeller's Histor

Description: Very rare and historic check. John D. Rockefeller's historic company! No vignette. The Standard Oil Company of Ohio was an American oil enterprise that emerged as a successor to the original company founded in 1870 by John D. Rockefeller. It was designated as the "Standard Oil Company of Ohio" following the 1911 antitrust breakup, which resulted in the formation of several distinct entities. In the 1960s, Standard Oil of Ohio entered into a partnership with BP to develop the petroleum reserves at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, and to construct the Trans Alaska pipeline. This intricate partnership involved a gradual acquisition of stock, ultimately leading to BP obtaining a controlling interest and eventually fully acquiring the American company. Standard Oil of Ohio ceased its operations in 1987, although BP continued to market gasoline under the 'Sohio' brand until 1991. As a distinct entity, the "Standard Oil of Ohio" was established post-breakup to dismantle the oil conglomerate's monopoly in 1911. The company operated service stations under the 'Sohio' brand within Ohio but was restricted from using the 'Standard' name in other states. In adjacent states, it adopted the Boron brand name, introduced in 1954, while maintaining a similar logo. Wallace Trevor Holliday served as President of the company from 1928 to 1949 and held the position of Chairman of the Board from 1949 until his passing on November 7, 1950.
