#1 The Tail O’ the Cock was a prominent drinking establishment on La Cienega Boulevard, where Los Angeles and Beverly Hills come together. In 1965, Merritt Adamson, the president of Pronto Markets, a 16-store chain of convenience markets in Los Angeles, was having a business luncheon there. He was having problems with his largest customer, Adohr Milk Farms.
#2 In 1962, I had to sell off parts of my company to fund Pronto. I was blackmailed by a competitor who had found a way to avoid California’s high labor costs. I had to figure out what to do.
#3 I had the opportunity to thank Bud Fisher, the handsome scion of one of the founding families of Southern California, for being such a great mentor to me. We were both left-handed, which is the most important thing about a person.
#4 I had been hired to find out why the Owl Drug Company was failing. I had learned all I could at Owl, and was afraid I would begin to lose my Stanford standards for management if I stayed. I quit and went to work for Hughes Aircraft as the financial planner for their Semiconductor Division.
