George S. May

George Storr May (June 5, 1890 – March 12, 1962) was an American businessman and golf promoter.

May was born in Windsor, Illinois. He graduated with a degree from the Illinois State Teacher College. First working as a Bible salesman, following Billy Sunday, he soon turned his natural talent for problem-solving to use by becoming a freelance consultant, and efficiency expert.

In 1924 he started his first consulting assignment with Chicago Flexible Shaft Company, today's Sunbeam Corporation.[1] This was the beginning of the George S. May International Company. May based his business operations in Chicago.
