  Yes, &nbsp; Jimmy is a fine young man, and he&apos;ll make a fine salesman here at Chevrolet! &nbsp;A year later, in December of 1941, young Jimmy answered his Country&apos;s call to arms! &nbsp;And fought in the South Pacific with the U.S. NAVY aboard a destroyer and participated in some of fiercest naval battles during the war! And when he returned home with a chest full of medals, there was a job waiting for him at the Chevrolet dealership ! <br> ✌🏻🇺🇸

  I hope I have a boss like this someday. He/she&apos;d earn my instant respect.

  &quot;Jimmy? Always take a gun with you on your calls. If you don&apos;t need it, that&apos;s swell, but if you do.....I&apos;ve found a prospective buyer is far more willing to buy if he knows you will shoot him if he doesn&apos;t...&quot;

  Jimmy studied hard and applied himself well to Chevrolet salesmanship. Things went swell! He took out loans and bought a new Ford and a home. He married his neighbor&apos;s teen-age daughter, and they were expecting triplets. He was on top of the world. Until Dec. 8th, 1941. Seems priorities had shifted overnight, and now selling Sherman tanks door-to-door was a real struggle.

  Learning to sell cars door to door was good training for selling Fuller brushes.

  I liked when he said to his Dad “ starting Monday morning”. Back when people had lives and didn’t work in weekends. Weekends was for family. That’s long gone.
