Mr. Griffin. Then I take it, you worked for the Lewis Ribbon Co., just simply tell me if this is correct, from early 1953 until you left them.
Mr. Rubenstein. Ten years.
Mr. Griffin. In January of 1964.
Mr. Rubenstein. Ten years.
Mr. Griffin. How did you happen to leave them?
Mr. Rubenstein. They merged with the International Artware of Cleveland and they sold out. My territory was already absorbed by International’s men. In fact, they had three men in my three states and they had no room for me and felt rather bad about it because I am a rather conscientious worker, I like people, I don’t have trouble selling them legitimate merchandise and I liked the work and I was doing pretty good and they felt very bad. They promised me as soon as there was an opening they would let me know. So that is the story.
Mr. Griffin. I am going to go back a few years more now. Was your childhood spent in Chicago?
Mr. Rubenstein. Yes.
Mr. Griffin. And I take it you went to school in Chicago?
Mr. Rubenstein. Yes.
