Looking back at this comment today, it just sounds so wrong.
J Daddy, you're right, His move to GM was probably a big loss for ALCO.
But, Walter P. Chrysler left ALCO to join GM for only half of the salary. Chrysler thought the future was in the nascent automobile industry, and jumped at the chance to join GM and help revolutionize the auto industry with his considerable skills at metal fabricating. Chrysler did well: he built a skyscraper in New York with his name on it, The Chrysler Building!
