Halle rented an old plumbing supply building, built countertops, repainted the sign outside and was the store's only employee — serving as the tire technician, cleaning crew, salesman and accountant. It was three days before Halle had his first customer and a week before he made a sale. His original inventory consisted of two new tires and four retreads.

And he did that to "support his wife and kids." I can just hear his wife 57 years ago..."Are you nuts? How are we going to eat? That's the stupidest thing you've ever done! Why can't you go get a JOB like normal husbands do? Give my Dad a call...he'll find you something. He always needs another accountant."

My father started a business in late 60's...on a shoestring and a dime.

He was very successful....

I've bought tires from a Discount tire place...

Never had a problem...

Wives are all the same! It’s a wonder anything gets done or invented or started.

Behind every successful man there’s a women telling him it can’t be done.

Quite an imagination you have there.
