...marriage of Messrs. Dahlberg, Mack and Groves was made in Wall Street, not in Heaven, but it works surpassingly well. Last week's announcement of the approaching sale, largely in Europe, of 100,000 common shares of Celotex Corp. called attention to their successful venture in corporate resuscitation...
...would be hard to find three more dissimilar business associates than Bror Dahlberg, Walter S. Mack Jr. and Wallace Groves. Mr. Dahlberg is a smoothfaced, vigorous Swede of 58 who collects Napoleonana, has an ornate office almost as big as Hitler's, runs his business with cosmic scope. Mr. Mack is a relaxed Harvardman with intense blue eyes and nonchalance about money; he likes to consider himself a sort of clinicist for big business. Mr. Groves is a bald, shy Southerner whose financial talents have earned him several million dollars, a reputation as "silent man of Wall Street...
Celotex was Bror Dahlberg's creation. In 1911, having been everything from a high-speed typist to freight-rate counselor, he found himself vice president of Minnesota & Ontario Paper Co.

Masonite was jockeyed into a fine position for revival in building by winning a patent infringement suit in 1933 against Bror Dahlberg's Celotex Corp., No. 1 U. S. wallboard makers. Mr. Dahlberg makes his board of sugar cane fibre. He found, as Inventor Mason did, that hard board could be made from materials other than wood. By giving his sugar cane a little more heat and pressure, he too got a dense, rigid board. But Masonite sued and won, which meant that if anyone wanted hard board they had to buy Presdwood...
Months ago famed Swedish Humanitarian Eric Dahlberg warned his countrymen what might be the result of Haile Selassie's visit to Stockholm in 1925 as Prince Regent. On that occasion the little Ethiopian persuaded crack Swedish officers including General Virgin to resign from the Army, took them to Addis Ababa where they have trained Ethiopian troops. Said Herr Dahlberg: "We are not sure but what if Italian aviators fail to get our Swedish military instructors at Addis Ababa they may not try to get some of our Swedish ambulance units in the field...
