After gaining experience as a motion picture salesman for Warner Brothers, Mr. Young embarked on a very successful career as an entrepreneur and later in his career as a financier. While there are too many companies to name, some of the more notable ones were Chelsea Industries, one of the first companies to introduce plastic to the United States, SAY Industries, an innovator in consumer packaging that was responsible for changing how motor oil was packaged from the composite can to today’s plastic funnel top quart container.
