Whoever would have thought Enoch Peters would have said NO! when all the Steelworkers asked was a meager raise, salt and fresh water pools and a Bandage Day? Not Dave McKee!

There was a time when. Enoch Peters, President of Bankfire Steel, satisfied himself with the business of making a profit at the expense of the consumerโ€”which was wonderfully fair, because that way he could give Dave McKee most everything Dave McKee wanted, thus maintaining what was known as a progressive business attitude. Those were the days when the ADA liked Enoch Peters almost as much as โ€œRocky,โ€ and when Dave McKee stated publicly that the only difference between Enoch Peters and himself was that Enoch Peters ran the largest steel company in America, whereas Dave McKee contented himself with running America.
