O knihe

The Story....... The story starts as a 'burnt-out' bounty hunter and a 'floundering' waitress find each other. After a week of stepping out, they fall in love. Realizing they had both been lifelong 'range rats,' the two set out to build a business out of reloading once fired brass. Needing a prototype automatic machine to sort and load ammo, they went to Salt Lake City to learn how to operate such machines. Concurrently they made friends with three other couples in similar training classes. After one month, they returned to Denver to purchase a building, renovate it, purchase houses for their friends' housing, and arranged for the automated sorters and reloaders to be installed. With their six friends as essential workers, the factory was producing 220,000 loaded rounds per week and turned out some incredible profits till things came to a halt with the impending WWI. Electing not to be commandeered but to work with the War Department, the business prospered making 30-06 rifle and 45 ACP pistol ammo. With the end of the war in 1917, the business went thru the 1918 Influenza pandemic and was closed for months. After that, the business flourished during the Roaring 20's till the Stock Market crash of 1929. The business again closed during the Great Depression till the late 1930's in preparation for WWII. After that war, the Duo now in their late 50's and wealthy, passed the business to their son and daughter.
