"We didn't go into neighborhoods where we knew Frank wouldn't be welcome," said Feingold, then assistant public relations director for the National Brewing Company, which Hoffberger owned. "There were places we didn't bother with because no one would rent to a black man. There were other times when I'd go to the door — Frank stayed in my Ford station wagon — and inquire, and the owner would say, 'Who is it for?' When I told him, he'd say, 'Oh, well, we don't think so.'
