Dutee Wilcox Flint
Dutee Wilcox Flint (December 19, 1882 – March 31, 1961) was a Rhode Island state senator and business magnate in the Rhode Island and Connecticut area.
Business career
Flint was primarily invested in the automobile industry, but also owned a number of radio stations (like what is now known as WPRO (AM)), and the Dutee W. Flint Oil Company.[1] By the beginning of the 1930s, however, he was not the owner of many of these assets; the Dutee W. Flint Oil Company was sold to Socony in 1929, WPRO (AM) was sold to Cherry & Webb Broadcasting in 1931. Most importantly, and after the discontinuance of the Model T in 1927, was forced to sell his stock and Ford dealerships, along with most other assets he had in the Ford Motor Company.
