...that time, his primary sales experience had been as a marketing man for the American Radiator & Standard Sanitary Corp. and as a fund raiser for Connecticut's Trinity College, of which he had been president. But he did splendidly as the No. 1 drummer of U.S. everyman's capitalism. Funston's zeal helped raise the number of American shareowners from 6.5 million to 21.5 million.
