It was a two for one deal. Larry was street smart and an earner, Joe Gallo was muscle. In order to bring Larry in, they had to bring Joe in. Larry was actually liked, while Joe was not so much, since his antics brought unwanted trouble, this was before the 1st Colombo war. Salvatore Cerrito invited Joe Gallo to stay out in San Jose for a short time, to let things cool down in New York, two wrongs dont make a right. Joe Gallo also spent time in Southern California, Los Angeles area. This allowed him to recruit guys from California later on when they went up against Profaci. They got their buttons before Anastasia was hit.
