My first job after highschool was at the K-Mart in Pontiac. Somewhere in there between 63-late 64 I worked at Western Auto, Simm’s, and some furniture store on Dixie and Telegraph? Also sold a couple of Kirby vaccumm cleaners, then on to Florida. Do you remember your first job? Send me the names of more if you can remember. Note! Many photos of the businesses below are also located on the site. snapshop@ix.netcom.com
