Congratulations, you are a winner!
The Results
Judge 1: De Witt Page is clearly the winner of this fight. Rockwell may have given the city 32 more acres of land but with each of his contributions Page also donated money to support them. Page also gave the city a whopping $655,000, an astonishing amount for the day.
Judge 2: Albert Rockwell is the hands down winner of this contest. If it weren’t for Rockwell starting New Departure and employing Bristol residents to manufacture his inventions, where would Bristol be today? Everyone knows that a good economy provides a good standard of living and attracts both housing and industrial development.
Judge 3: The winner of the match is definitely De Witt Page. While it’s true that Rockwell started New Departure, it didn’t start to grow and prosper until Page took control and combined it with United Motors and later with General Motors. Rockwell was a great innovator, but Page was the better businessman and great ideas without business brilliance are of limited value.
