Heavyweight boxing champion James J. Braddock working construction.

He agreed to defend his title against joe louis only after negotiating a deal in which he got a decent % of joe louis future earnings in the ring. It made him a lot of money, but it was the only way Louis was assured a title shot at that time as it was customary for the champion to pick who he fought against.

Cool thread!

Here is Bob Feller's unique die cut business card from his stint as the Director of Sales for the Hilton Hotel in downtown Cleveland in the 1970's.
Pretty cool! Enjoy!
