Show HI AB lin sl: i n 't ha e thin tth h m n • to s 1 1nto a busin ss. So, the one w s p ddle JUnk. And some of them were highly edu te in He r w nd most of them were quite intelligent. But yer_· fe of them had an.. exprience in business. Now, Nathan R sen latt was one of themen who's very well educated in Hebre~, but also had good business sense, was lighly intelligent. And some of these poor junk pedllers, whenfuey would pick up a wagon load of junk and take it to the dealer to sell it to him, they were robbed blind because they didn't know!! They coulnd't-thej knew taht they were not getting the value, but they didn't know what to do to take care of their interest. Sothey used to get athan Rosenballt to qo with them to sell their junk. Well, they couldn't slip anything over on Mr. Rosenblatt becuase he was too smart. Well, in time, a short time, I imagine, he opened up a junk store and bought junk for these junk peddlers. And of course, when he did that, fueyall -:looked to him. Because they c knew they wuld get a square deal, which they got. But in the meantime, he became quite well-to-do and eventually quit when theboys grew up and were all college graduates and they had technicaleducation and they ~tarted into the manufacturing business as well as the junk business and became successul. Well, they finally soldout to a big corporation. And they did allright. L What's the problem with that story, it's a lovely story. AC A story my Dad told me and I don't know how true¥ it is. I don't know how accurate. It's true as far as he knew. I'm sure. As far as he thought. L Did you ~fio any peddling, junk peddling? |
