I moved this to the Glidden article, no point in having a history of the Soy division in a biography:
"In 1958, Central Soya of Fort Wayne, Indiana acquired Julian's Soy Products Division (Chemurgy) of the Glidden Paint Company, Chicago. Food grade, soy protein isolate, first became available on October 2, 1959 with the dedication of Central Soya's edible soy isolate, Promine D, production facility on the Glidden Company industrial site in Chicago. An edible soy isolate; and edible spun soy fiber has also been available, since 1960, from Ralston Purina Company of St.Louis,Ill. who had hired Robert Boyer and Frank Calvert. In 1987, PTI became the world's leading maker of isolated soy protein. In 2003, Central Soya's (Bunge) Protein Division, joined/merged with DuPont's soy protein (Solae) business,which in 1997 had acquired Ralston Purina's soy division, Protein Technologies International (PTI), St. Louis, Missouri."
