In the fall of 1871, . . . certain Pennsylvania refiners brought to [Rockefeller and his
partners] a remarkable scheme, the gist of which was to bring together secretly a
large enough body of refiners and shippers to persuade all the railroads handling
oil to give to the company formed [the new trust] special rebates on its oil, and
drawbacks [refunds] on that of other people. If they could get such rates, it was
evident that [other companies] could not compete with them long and that they
would become eventually the only refiners. They could then limit their output
to actual demand, and so keep up prices. . . . [They] began at once to work up a
company—secretly. It was evident that a scheme which aimed at concentrating
in the hands of one company the business now operated by scores [a “score” is
twenty] . . . must be worked with fine discretion if it ever were to be effective.
. . . In order that their great scheme might not be injured by premature public
discussion they asked of each [potential partner] whom they approached a pledge
of secrecy. https://www.coreknowledge.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/CKHG_G6_U9_Reform-in-Industrial-America_NFE1_HistoryoftheStandardOilCompany.pdf
Summary:  Tarbell describes here how Rockefeller connected with some partners, bringing the oil company (standard oil) with other businesses to form a trust called the South improvement company.  In conclusion it talks about that the company was ran by  at the time by oil rich, powerful person John D. Rockefeller, the richest figure in American history.

There would be meat that had tumbled out on the floor, in the dirt and sawdust, where the workers had tramped and spit uncounted billions of consumption germs. There would be meat stored in great piles in rooms; and the water from leaky roofs would drip over it, and thousands of rats would race about on it. It was too dark in these storage places to see well, but a man could run his hand over these piles of meat and sweep off handfuls of the dried dung of rats. These rats were nuisances, and the packers would put poisoned bread out for them; they would die, and then rats, bread, and meat would go into the hoppers together. This is no fairy story and no joke; the meat would be shoveled into carts, and the man who did the shoveling would not trouble to lift out a rat even when he saw one – there were things that went into the sausage in comparison with which a poisoned rat was a tidbit. https://www.commonlit.org/texts/excerpt-from-the-jungle
Summary: The meats is contaminated with dirt, poison, rats dropping, etc. The storage room was disgusting and wasn't a safe place to store meats. The food was exposed to harsh conditions of the meatpacking industry in Chicago. Upton Sinclair described the conditions but he won't actually there.
