Plan No. 591. Painted Automobiles in Winter
He was a good painter, but during the winter he had very little work; yet by the following plan it became the most profitable and busy season of the year.
During the early fall he saw some of the auto owners and made an arrangement to re-paint their cars during the winter. He made a study of auto painting and was able to furnish as high class a job as the auto owner desired. If the upholstering of the car was worn or of poor taste he made suggestions for adding greatly to the beauty of the car. His wife did the upholstering and acquired great skill in that work and the profit from it went to her.
Cars painted and upholstered by him soon brought to him an excellent reputation which brought him a very profitable business from year to year.
