Arnold's Story: August 13, 1948

A lengthy letter from Bill Nevis to his son Arnold:

The Studebaker Champion was a popular car for its gas mileage and fresh style.

Bill suddenly loves the installment plans for buying a car, kitchen appliances, and office equipment. Inflation, however, is a big concern, largely due to the Cold War with the Soviet Union. He cannot get building permits to consolidate the warehouse and bindery or expand his current structure because the City has notified him they will purchase his land under eminent domain for their future convention center. We also learn that the East Coast branch of the company is thriving in New York City.
