...Jut-jawed Charles G. Guth became a vice president of Loft, Inc. in 1929, immediately began gunning for control of the $13,000,000 candy-&-restaurant chain. At the 1930 stockholders' meeting, a police cordon was needed to keep the scrap verbal. That year Charles Guth collected enough proxies to make himself president.

He saw the shores of the Kennebee River, a wild, fair stream, where the rocks jut right down to the water's edge, and trees, native pines, overhang the channel.
