Show L A ll.n s_: - quit m· j Hm id thath en. Thl.S, urse, is another story. AS a divisonal sales manager e had 5 or in the United States and in 1929, there was .. L What ~as the company's name. AC The Duro Company. They manufactured automatic electric water systems. and water softeners. L You hadpretty much worked your wap up in that company? AC Yes. I~s going a good job for them.And in 1929, I more than made my quota. And in 1930, things started getting ery bad. In ~hose days, a good part of our bsuiess, especially in my territory, was done with farmers and the farmers were all broke . Worse than they ~e today~ By far , because they didn ' t have enough money to biy a pairof overalls. But I worked very hard and I was the only Dividonal Salesmanager that exceeded my quota in 1930 . And besides that, I operated a territory in Utah and Idaho. The difference between what we cahrged our dealers and what the jobbers would pay, paid half of my slary. It's a little hard to explain as I'd have b go into alot of detail. But this was a bonus otha the comany was getting becuase a the work I had done herepreviosuly. And the sales manager that sent me to Des VOines was a very close personal firend of mine. We had become, through the company,very good friends; firends - we visited each other. Later on, he visted us in Salt Lake City and we visited him in Dayton , Ohi. And so we were very close. |
