...years ago when Stutz was short of cash it approached its traditional patron by way of his brother, Edward Schwab, who now manages most of the old steelmaster's business affairs. Brother Edward said he had no funds available but if a buyer could be found for the Schwab Stutz holdings, he would loan the proceeds to the company.
