二戰期間，在奧斯維辛集中營里，一個猶太人對他的兒子說：“現在我們唯一的財富就是智慧，當別人說一加一等于二的時候，你應該想到大于二。”納粹在奧斯維辛毒死了幾十萬人，父子倆卻活了下來。 1946年，他們來到美國，在休斯敦做銅器生意。一天，父親問兒子：“一磅銅的價格是多少？”兒子答道：“35美。”父親說：“對，整個得克薩斯州都知道每磅銅的價格是35美分，但作為猶太人的兒子，應該說35美元。你試著把一磅銅做成門把看看。”
20年后，父親死了，兒子獨自經營銅器店。他做過銅鼓，做過瑞士鐘表上的簧片，做過奧運會的獎牌。他曾把一磅銅賣到3500美元，這時他已是麥考爾公司的董事長。然而，真正使他揚名的，是紐約州的一堆垃圾。
