I started a Foreman & Clark right out of college. I thought I might be able to sell something and I knew I could hem a pair of pants.

I was recruited from Forman & Clark to be Manager of a Florsheim Shoe Shop.

I was recruited back to Foreman and Clark to be assistant Manager at a new location they were opening.

I was fairly quickly promoted to Store manager at Merle Hay Mall, then I was transferred to a larger location at Southridge Mall.

Tragically Foreman's went completely out of business due to the changing business casual clothing style and due to some internal company issues. I decided that if I was going to be in the clothing business I might as well sell motorcycle clothing so I got myself hired at Zook's Harley-Davidson.

It has been wonderfull working with Harley-Davidson Motorclothes. Zook's moved to a larger location now know as the "Big Barn".

I got pissed off one morning and quite my job at Zook's. Someone told me the grass was greener on the other side of the fence. It isn't necessarily if the other side of the fence is New Mexico. I really enjoyed New Mexico but It just didn't work out to stay.

So I returned home to Iowa and begged for a job at the Route 65 Harley-Davidson Shop which is a secondary location for Zooks/Big Barn. We are now in a gorgeous new facility. I couldn't be happier. Unless maybe if they paid me more then I'd be even happier still.

Loved that post - how cool to save the business cards as a history :) I have saved first 'pay slips'.. interesting to see how much my pay has incresed over the years.. I started off on $50 a week when I was 15 - couldn't get much with that now! Thanks for sharing - loved it!
Can't wait to see the '40 Plymouth truck that you and your grandfather are restoring. That is so cool that you and he are able to do that as a project together.
I agree... the '33 tank logo has to be the best ever. And biker babes sure knew how to dress back then, don't you think?
