I think the Genovese was the most powerful from the earliest days up to the late 1950's, with the Gambinos being a strong #2.
I was under the impression that the Mangano/Anastasia family was small before Carlo took over and expanded the rackets.
Were they really stronger than the Profaci, Lucchese and Bonanno clans back then?
