Caption: Diamond Crystal Salt Co., a century-old business based in St. Clair, has seen its shares trade at record prices this year as it shrugged off unwanted attention from a New York takeover specialist and a New Zealand stock-market player operating via Australia and Hong Kong. As of this month, groups led by the two men owned about 24 percent of Diamond Crystal, and the Hong Kong contingent wanted a seat on its board of directors. Why such far-flung interest in a family controlled company that is now barely turning a profit?.
