...restaurant in London's Olympia exhibition hall last week, British government officials sat down to a meal of "Frood," a new British product hailed as a likely dollar-getter in the export trade. But Frood turned out to be nothing more than precooked frozen food. With the U.S. frozen-food market already oversold, it looked as if Britons could not have picked a worse time to try to invade it. The only thing to give U.S. businessmen pause was that Frood's maker, J. Lyons & Co., Ltd., was not likely to back a bad bet. By consistently backing...
...Chicken Supreme & Mousse. No one man now dominates the empire. Under Chairman Harry Salmon, 65, son of the original Barnett, the 18 directors are each responsible for one part of the business. Kitchens and cooking, for example, are in charge of 41-year-old Leonard Gluckstein. He accidentally developed Frood in 1941 when he tried to can a chicken chasseur and, failing, put it in a refrigerator. When he tasted it weeks later, he knew he had something. He quietly tested Frood in Lyons restaurants and U.S. Army messhalls during...

Deep beneath tall smelter chimneys and black slag mounds, its shafts bite 3,425 feet into the earth; from its honeycomb of stopes come 12,000 tons of nut-brown ore every working day. A ton of Frood ore contains 95 pounds of copper, 47 pounds of nickel, and the farther the shafts pierce toward the earth's core the richer the ore becomes...
Nevertheless, International's bright-eyed, nickel-grey-haired President Robert Crooks Stanley announced last month that Frood had begun open-pit mining. By last week, these new operations were fast approaching a fixed-quota yield of 4,000 tons of ore a day. This is low-grade ore, expensive to smelt. But open-pit mining is much cheaper than shaft mining and-more important to smart President Stanley and International's 90,000 stockholders-combination of the two methods will assure an average grade of ore for many a year, will put off the day when even Frood...
