Some came to see the statues or to inspect the graves of their favorite show people-Tom Mix, Jean Harlow, Carole Lombard, Irving Thalberg, Marie Dressier, Flo Ziegfeld are buried in Forest Lawn. Many found that the 100.000 shrubs provided plenty of quiet places to neck in. Eaton encouraged them all, and reached them all with the Forest Lawn message: "Everything at time of sorrow, in one sacred place, under one friendly management...
...accident!" The two men hurried to another blind, 300 yds. away, where they came on a hunter's nightmare. On the rough hummock, Harry W.

His answer: No, except for helping to establish the calendar and inducing...
...over his baby. Not only did he design thousands of parts, but he had to get cost estimates for each one from hundreds of suppliers -without springing the secret. His sales strategy was to outflank corporate channels, sell the small car directly to G.M.'s hard-reigning president, Harlow Curtice. But sharp, inquiring "Red" Curtice was a tough man to sell. To do it, Cole would have to present him with a prototype car and an argument virtually without flaw-at a carefully selected time when the market was just beginning to ripen. Cole well knew that Curtice could...
