The corporation (fiscal 1958 sales: about $25 million) makes not only jukeboxes but most of Western Union's facsimile equipment, plus key electronic components for the Nike and Sidewinder missiles. Two years ago, at the ripe ages of 31 and 28, Coleman and Siegel got control of Seeburg with a display of financial virtuosity worthy of Cash McCall...
