Ed Justice Sr., the last of three brothers who founded Justice
Brothers, Inc. which would become a worldwide manufacturer and
distributor of car care additives, lubricants and cleaners, died Aug.
30 in Arcadia, Calif., of complications due to kidney failure. He was 87.
With
$2,500 profit from a racecar they built in their garage, Justice and
his brothers Zeke and Gus started Justice Brothers, Inc. in Southern California.
In turn, it was built into one of the world’s leading brands for
professional mechanics and consumers. When Justice retired 20 years
ago, the company manufactured 13 products, today the product line
numbers in excess of 100. Zeke concentrated on the mechanical side and
the formulation of the products while Gus handled the accounting and
money side. Gus retired from the business in 1974 and Zeke retired in
1980.
