I guess the question is asking about the 1800s. Business people
in the 1800s endeavored to eliminate competition by framing pools, trusts,
syndication or monopolies etc. Numerous organizations composed pools to keep
costs at a specific level, that is, they endeavored to shield costs from
falling. A few organizations shaped trusts. A trust is a blend of firms or
companies shaped by a legitimate understanding, particularly to lessen competition.
