...least as important to help a man back to health as it is to go out to the Goodyear plant on the edge of town and make a good tire," Stamps says. "So far, it hasn't recognized that. People who work with people-the most precious product in the country-are downtrodden everywhere...
...business agent, a lawyer and an accountant?all devoted to protecting him from himself. They are necessary. Fame has brought Denny fortune?and constant problems. At home, the phone is forever ringing with calls from people pleading with him to visit their store, appear at their nightclub, endorse their product. On the road, Denny's current roommate, Shortstop Ray Oyler, has taken to answering the phone: "Mr. McLain's office."

Allen now enjoys a 6% profit on sales...

An innovation, company-owned dealerships where there were none before, has paid off handsomely. Chrysler now has 512 dealers either leased or controlled by the company, and they account for some 27% of sales. Another innovation, the offer of a five-year or 50,000-mile warranty to customers, turned out to be one of the cleverest gimmicks in auto history. Insurance premiums to cover costs of repairs are, of course, included in the price that the buyer pays...
