...quit the ring several times. In those intervals he had driven an ice truck, mixed cement, gone on relief at $9.50 a week to support his wife and six kids. But once he got a chance to fight Louis, Jersey Joe Walcott (his unferocious real name was Arnold Raymond Cream*) went about his preparations thoroughly. He studied movies of Louis' fights, like a football coach looking for weakness in enemy defenses...
...never quite forgiven himself for losing another King Ranch horse, Stymie. His trainer, Max Hirsch, entered Stymie in a $1,500 claiming race. Wily Horseman Hirsch Jacobs, who had correctly sized up Stymie's potential worth, claimed him. Stymie has since won $816,060 for Jacobs. The cream-and-brown King Ranch racing colors have won all but a few of the nation's major racing classics, including the Santa Anita Derby, the Preakness, the Belmont Stakes, the Saratoga Special, a score of others.

...right. Under Spang, Gillette tied up the radio rights on most big sports events, was thus able to talk ("Look Sharp! Feel Sharp! Be Sharp!") to a shaving audience. Spang dropped the company's electric shaver because it competed with the more profitable blade business, added shaving cream to the line of products, followed up advertising with hard-hitting merchandising. Gillette's net income increased from $2,941,890 in 1938 to $10,501,448 last year. This year the company's main plant in South Boston is still working the wartime three shifts...
