PROD contested by. My PROD reasoning was as follows: "lots of mentions in Wall Street Journal archives, but almost all are routine reports of earnings, losses, or personnel changes. no in-depth profiles or features. nothing to indicate they were a central leader in the field. checked for book mentions & got one trivial mention in a book about the history of the bra. again no in-depth coverage." &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 01:55, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Keep. I added a number of citations from the New York Times and Chicago Tribune meeting WP:SECONDARY. Based on these, there's almost certainly more to add from the regional business press of the late 1920s and early 1930s once anyone cares to research these. This article needs fleshing out as a tale of the managerial capitalism of the late 1920s and early 1930s, not deleting. Fiachra10003 (talk) 03:39, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
