I had popcorn all over the place, so I decided I might as well be in the Processing Business.

We dried continuously day and night. We had no efficient way to do it, so we built this new popcorn plant.

We got to know the competition very well. In the '50s popcorn made a big growth in sales. Our main push was to produce the best quality and sell in quality retail outlets.

Most of the competition was into bulk popcorn because of the major increases in the Drive-In Theatre Outlets.

Every once in a while, someone will mail me a single popcorn kernel that didn't pop. I'll get out a fresh kernel, tape it to a piece of paper and mail it back to them.

In the Depression we had to divert corn acreage.
