. In "John D. Rockefeller", by allan Nevins, is the following account of Capt. Jacob Jay Vandergrift; "Two prominent oil refiners of the oil regions, J.J. Vandergrift & John D. Archbold, were solicited by John D. Rockefeller to join his South Improvement scheme January 1872, but refused. In March, Archbold, Vandergrift, and others of the Petroleum Roducts Association, of Oil City opposed the Rockefeller scheme. Two of the oil regions refiners were men of conspicous ability, Jacob Jay Vandergrift, famous as a steamboat captain and pipe line organizer, and John D. Archbold, of Titusville. Eventually, tey were won over, and in 1874 joined interests with the Standard Oil Company. Vandergrift, burly, round-headed, and bull necked, was a man of infinite resource, president of numerous companies, a born organizer. Evenually, he went into the banking and iron business in Pittsburgh, becoming a partner of john Pitcairn, Jr. He was a romantic figure, beginning life as a cabin boy, and becoming later a captain on an Ohio River steamboat. (see also Boyle, "Derricks Handbook", pp. 643-650). he was described as uneducated, but a thorough gentleman, with gentle unassuming manners." After him was named the model industrial town of Vandergrift, Pa., as he was a leading stockholder in the steel mills there, founded in 1896
