He started working in the printing office as a teen and eventually married the owners daughter and bought the company. He figured out all the best and most efficient ways to work there. I soon learned that he knew what he was talking about. Years later, as an old man who just came in to sweep up (we couldn’t keep him home), he would try to tell the women in the bindery how they could do better work. After he moved on, they just laughed and did their own thing again. It made me mad.
