[Investment Painting Contractors]

I lived in East Detroit, We had a guy who had a knife sharpener on a wheel barrow and would sharpen your knives and scissors---a fruit cart owned by my buddies dad, it became a fruit truck a small store then a supermarket chain. We had a paraplegic named Johnny who hired all us kids to work on his special equipped truck that sold pizza , ice cream etc. We also had the horse drawn rag cart, he wouldn't get a truck because he loved his horse all the kids on the block did too. Lastly you never called a Tradesman because all you neighbors and their sons we in the trades. My first contract was asbestos tile on a basement floor I was 12. I became a painter in high school and all thru college. Never could work behind a desk, now at 70 I miss a simpler time.
