Encyclopedia > Frederick Crawford

Frederick Coolidge Crawford (1891-1994), industrialist and philanthropist, was for more than seven decades a major force in the transportation industry, a pioneer in the human relations field, and a leader in the philanthropic community in Cleveland, Ohio. As head of Thompson Products for more than 25 years, Crawford oversaw the company's transformation from an automotive and aircraft parts manufacturer to a leader in the aviation and aerospace industries.[1] It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into Business magnate. ... A philanthropist is someone who engages in philanthropy; that is, someone who donates his or her time, money, or reputation to a charitable cause. ... Cleveland redirects here. ...
