After graduating from high school, I worked at the Bishop Furniture factory where I installed springs in overstuffed furniture, for a period of three Months. Then, due a work slowdown I resigned. The new workplace was at a retail store called "The Gamble Store" for a salary of $80 per month (less than 25 cents per hour). The normal work day was for 14 hours, except Saturdays, the workday on that day was 10 hours. Sunday was a free day, except for special meetings which occurred about once a month. My position was Sales Clerk, Tire Installer, and Auto Parts Shipper.
