...reselling them at a hefty profit. In 1963, he paid $3,800,000 to buy 90% control of the then-floundering Honolulu Iron Works Co., which makes sugar mills. By chopping off deadwood and expanding, he tripled its profits in a year, two months ago sold out to Ward Foods for $13.8 million, 100,000 shares of Ward stock and a seat on its board...
