In 1932, C.E. Doolin learned a corn chips business was for sale, so he purchased the recipe and began making Fritos corn chips in his mother's kitchen, selling them from his Model T Ford. That same year, Herman W. Lay began his potato chip business. Not long after, Mr. Lay purchased Mr. Doolin's company and formed H.W. Lay & Company, becoming one of the largest snack food companies in the Southeast. In 1961, H.W. Lay & Company merged with the Frito Company, becoming Frito-Lay, Inc. During the 1960s extending into the early 1970s,
