Abstract:
Murphy Manufacturing of Wilson was the largest manufacturer of customized refrigerated truck bodies in the country. However, the company had fallen on hard times with low morale among employees, declining sales brought on by the 1981-82 recession, and a critical need to upgrade outdated equipment and production methods. Purchasing an ailing company can be risky, but C. William Layman, owner of a Charlotte plastics company, and Harold Domenico, founder of Charlotte-based Management Analysts, Inc., undertook the challenge. Timblin discusses the results of their efforts.

Abstract:
At one time headache powders were big business in the South. Most fell victim to changing times and the public's preference for modern tablets like Advil and Tylenol. Three major headache powders survive, and two of them are manufactured in North Carolina--Goody's Manufacturing Corp. and Stanback Co. Goody's has been a staple in Winston-Salem since 1932, and Stanback's was introduced to the public in 1910 in Spencer.
