"Raskob’s total dedication to the DuPont Company won him Pierre’s love; his consistently successful fi nancial strategies earned him the trust and respect of the rest of the men who ran the nation’s largest explosives company. So when Raskob decided in 1915 that the sputt ering new General Motors Company represented the greatest fi nancial opportunity he had ever seen, Pierre and the rest of the DuPont men agreed to do what John recommended.

As the business press of the era reported, it was Raskob, and Raskob alone, who brought the DuPont millions to GM."
