With a consistent assessment policy, a tax rate that seldom fluctuated, little debt, conservative little Flemington, near New Jersey's western border, looked good to harassed Standard. Into the tiny law office of sedate, greying George K. Large (Princeton '99; former country judge) went a huge new safe to hold the oil firm's records of incorporation. Up went the town's ratables as Standard was assessed $45,000,000 in personal property, paid...
