"My dad backed him up. And very honestly, I had no qualms about it—except I didn't like it," Bob laughed. "I said at that time I would never work here [again], but I ended up buying it."
Bob went to college and earned a degree in marketing, eventually landing jobs with big corporations like American Express and MacGregor Sporting Goods. Bob thought American Express was "it" for him until 1962 when Charles, who was currently working at Finn, gave him a call to ask if he wanted to partner up and buy their dad out, since he planned to retire. Bob decided New York wasn't for him, so he packed his bags and returned to Finn Graphics. They dropped the printing business completely and concentrated solely on promotional products. The rest is history.
