High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The South Improvement Company was a Pennsylvania corporation in 1871-1872. It was created by major railroad interests, but was widely seen as part of John D. Rockefeller's early efforts to organize and control the oil and natural gas industries in the United States which eventually became Standard Oil. Although it lasted less than a year and never shipped any oil, the South Improvement Company scheme caused widespread attention to be focused on the relationships between big railroads (which were public utilities pledged to serve all) and big businesses which wanted and demanded favorable treatment. Thomas A. Scott, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad set up the South Improvement Company in the fall of 1871. The scheme was intended to benefit both the railroads and major refiners, notably those controlled by Rockefeller through secret rebates.
