Eventually Simon may make a visit to the company himself???he took eight trips to West Virginia in the course of buying into Wheeling Steel?but his trips are mainly for general impressions rather than to learn exact detail of operations. When he has finally made up his mind about a company, the hot line to Sutro & Co. of Los Angeles...
