By merger and acquisition, he built General Tire into the rubber industry's fifth largest company (after Goodyear, Firestone, U.S. Rubber, and Goodrich). In 1944 he made his best deal, bought a half interest in the fledgling Aerojet Engineering Corp. for $75,000, bought another 34% chunk of the company...
