A much larger number of successful and independent businesses find ingenious ways to overcame the hurdles. Charles Cassius Gates Jr., president of Denver's Gates Rubber Co., has led his company abroad and diversified it so widely that it now has both egg factories and a mutual fund. To overcome the disadvantages of nepotism, Seattle's Simpson Timber has ruled that the only job open to the owners' family...
