Youthful Experience at Ackner Fuels Inc Prepares Owner for Business Astuteness

摘要

Harry ackner took over Ackner Fuels Inc in Averill Park, New York, in 1948 when he was hardly more than a boy. He was so young, in fact, that he couldn't qualify for a driver license. Despite his age, Ackner knew the fuel oil business his father had started two years before his untimely death could only succeed if he kept the delivery truck on its round. Fortunately, a cousin and a few of the neighbors also understood that necessity, so they volunteered to drive the truck until the teenager was old enough to be on the road.
