John D. Rockefeller, holding a bag labeled “Foreign $ Missions” close to his side, sits on millstones labeled “Standard Oil Millstone” grinding or squeezing money from people caught between the two stones. With his left hand he offers a copy of the Bible to a native man. A diminutive figure below, labelled “Jr,” is Rockefeller’s son and namesake, who methodically was assisting and assuming projects of the trust magnate.
