Boy Trades Jacks For Profit In Small Town Shop
A remarkable 11 year old, Gene Myers, turned a roadside junk task into a thriving repair business. He operates a shop that fixes jacks and sells them to customers, earning up to 100 dollars a month by charging two to four dollars per jack and taking a cut of parts. His curiosity and self taught knowledge grew from reading on the subject, and after his employer retired, he borrowed money to buy the business and expand. He balances school sports and his growing enterprise.
