Rl nning a 'successful business in
a h ghly competitive field is a big
job for anyone these des/a—but
when you have to run your busi-
nesi from the narrow confines of
an iron lung the task can be en-
ormous, .
Rbn Boe, vice-president and gen-
eral, manager of Boe Automotive,
Torpnto, leading oil burner access
sory distributors, is a young man
who is facing such a challenge.
'f he= fact that his'business is flour-
ishing demonstrates the remark-
able facility of the man.,
Last summer Ron was stricken
with polio. He was completely
paralyzed from the neck down. For
seveninonths he, was' almost con.-
ly, ponfiried ,to jung,
He suffered a couple of severe re-
cessions. For the last two months,
largely through his own determin-
ation, he has been able to leave the
machine in the daytime and ex-
perience the compartive freedom
offeredhine. by the lighter, portable ma-,c•
Today Ron's office is his spot-
less room in. the •Riverdale Isola-
tion Hospital. Once a week his
manager, Jim Price, drops in to
discuss business. Twice a week his
accountant visits him to mull over
finances. His three salesmen see
him usually every two weeks to
report on sales, decide on new lines
and keep hina :posted On develop-
ments. Recently the board of dir-
ectors showed up to hold the firm's
annual meeting by his bedside, De-
spite his, present immobility Ron
still makes all the major policy de-
cisions regarding the operation of
the company.
According to Jim Price, Ron has
some excellent ideas • on giving
customers faster . and better ser-
vice and is constantly thinking of
new ways to improve the organ-
ization of the company.
The full ',eight of managing the
business fell on Ron's shoulders
barely ( month before his illness.
It ,was' on June 6th last that Ron's
father, Arthur J. Boe, the president
and founder of the firm, died sud-
denly of a. heart attack. At the
time the two men were -planning
to expand their operatiOn. Now
those plans will have to wait Until
Ron is on his feet again.
Ron Boe would be the last man
in the world to take credit for the
smooth 'manner in Which his com-
pany has continued to function.
He is quick to point out, the large
amount of extra Work that his as-
sociates have assumed . Above
