Notes |
- -----
Notes Norvin Clontz, "...owned and operated Clontz Shoe Shop in Morganton,
N.C., for over 50 years until his retirement. His son, Geroge Edward Clontz,
continued to operate the shoe repair shop in Morganton. All of Ras Clontz'
sons worked in the shoe shop as they were growing up.
In my grandfather Clontz' shoe shop were two signs which I remember
seeing and which left a vivid impression. These signs were:
"OUR TERMS ARE CASH. THAT IS WHAT MAKES FRIENDSHIP LAST".
and
"I LOVE YOU ALL, BUT NEED THE MONEY".
My grandfather Clontz often used a metaphor to convey one of his basic
philosophies. He said, "A HARD HEAD WILL MAKE A SOFT TAIL". What he meant was
if a person is hard-headed and not willing to listen and learn from others'
experiences, then, that person will be weak and will have difficulties in
life."
