Sixty-two years ago, the nation witnessed one of the largest funerals in U.S. history. It marked the passing of not a president, but of a captain of industry.
George F. Johnson was the owner of the Endicott Johnson Corp. -- at one time the country's leading shoe manufacturer -- and one of the nation's welfare capitalists.

I had heard most of this a long time ago, I wrote a paper in college about how George Johnson ran his company with workers in mind. I think it would be really difficult today for most large companies to operate this way though.
