I liked King Stahlman. His motto was "early to bed, early to rise, work like hell and advertise". You can't drive down a major blvd in San Diego without seeing a King Stahlman ad on at least one bus bench. I thought it was weird that he got his purple heart when his ship was torpedoed on a Friday the 13th and he died on a Friday the 13th. I guess for him, it really was an unlucky day.
