๏‚จ   In the late 1800s, iron was used to build
    bridges, buildings, and railroads. As motives
    got bigger and heavier, iron tracks were no
    longer strong enough.
๏‚จ   Steel tracks were needed, but steel was much
    more expensive to make than iron.
๏‚จ   By the 1850s, inventers came up with a way to
    make steel cheaper.
๏‚จ   In the late 1860s,Andrew Carnegie built a steel
    mill in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
๏‚จ   By the 1870s,business was good for him. With
    his profits he built steel mills and made even
    more money.
๏‚จ   He bought ships to carry resources to the mills.
๏‚จ   He made steel at a lower cost then others could.
    The other steel mills were not able to compete
    with Carnegieโ€™s low prices. Then they joined
    his business and formed the Carnegies' steel
    company; the largest in the U.S.
๏‚จ   He became very rich at 250 billion dollars a
    year.
๏‚จ   In 1863, John D. Rockefeller set up an oil
    refinery in Cleveland , Ohio. He was 24 years
    old.
๏‚จ   A refinery is a factory that makes oil into
    products we use.
๏‚จ   The first products made in his refinery were
    grease and kerosene for lamps.
๏‚จ   His refinery was one of 30 in Cleveland. Later
    on he was able to buy most of them.
๏‚จ   In 1870, he consolidated them into on business
    he called the standard oil company.
๏‚จ   Others could not match his low prices.
John D. Rockefeller

He had a
monopoly or
was in control
of the oil.
  At age 99,
Rockefeller
was worth 1.4
billion dollars.
๏‚จ   Most factories were located near harbors or
    rivers.
๏‚จ   With the growth of railroads, oil, and steel
    industries, new cities developed land away
    from the coast.
They were one of the most rich people
      in the world at the time.
