"You can't buy them at the stores. They are made in Switzerland. They are not made in China." This guy is a fucking savage

In 2004 this man convinced my mother to buy 5 peelers and she’s been dead since 1998. Amazing salesman.

I really love the older generation of people how honest, diligent and hard working they were. Real role models. Never dependent on anyone for their livelihood, not even their kids.

This guy can sell a mirror to the blind

this guy was amazing. I used to see him near my office in Manhattan. One day he would sell vegetable peelers, the next day it would be children's books. It was always the same reaction. he would draw a huge crowd and then people would just start buying. I saw a short news story about his life on CBS. He was actually quite well off financially, living in a beautiful place near Park Ave (and help paying for his children / grand children's college educations). He always worked for himself selling items on the street, for decades.
