He later sold the Company in the 1930's and founded the now Pepperdine University located in Malibu, California. Truetone was the brand name of the radios sold through the Western Auto Stores for many years to come. He was a member of the Churches of Christ and built the school with the money he garnered from the sale of the Western Auto Store chain.anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18190215925660205987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080299065441712068.post-10682250679082065732016-08-11T07:46:56.817-05:002016-08-11T07:46:56.817-05:00Thanks, Sharon.
