Emphasis Preaching Journal

R. G. LeTourneau, a self-taught industrialist and builder, was a dedicated Christian with a great desire to serve God. The first major type of equipment he built was large earthmovers. Early in his career, he realized that rubber tires on the earth-moving equipment made them much more efficient. He tried to convince one of his major purchasers and user of his equipment to use the rubber tires. The purchaser refused, thinking that the traditional steel-wheeled equipment was much butter.
