When Exxon (formerly Standard Oil of New Jersey) and Mobil (formerly Standard Oil of New York) merged, some wags commented that the old trust was coming back together, and Rockefeller would be proud. It wasn't the whole thing, though - the trust also included Chevron (Standard of California) and a few companies (Sohio, Amoco, Arco) since bought up by BP. And I'm sure I'm missing a few.
