Industrial Corporations Founded from 1870 to 1925

Industrial corporations founded from 1870 to 1925, among them the American oil trust that grew out of the Standard Oil Company of Ohio and the German chemical combine formed in 1925 from six firms, the giant combines of the second industrial revolution. An organization belongs here when its cited article gives a founding or establishment date inside this span. It excludes organizations founded earlier or later, which sit in the neighboring groups of the same kind, and it does not turn on how large or long-lived an organization became. Each member is placed by the founding date stated in the article cited for it, so the grouping rests on a quoted source.
