A: When I came out of the service, I had a job to put in computers at the post office. I was 24 years old. My buddy saw me (one) day. He said, “Meet me tomorrow for breakfast; you’re going to sell wigs.” So I met him, I sold wigs for a year; I made more money with him with wigs than I did working downtown at the post office. I opened up my first store at Devon and Western (avenues). This was my last store. I’ve been here since April of ’69. Then I bought the building about three years later. We always (had) a lot of different types of people coming here buying wigs, and then they wanted makeup. So we started gradually and that’s how we did it, adding on.
