James O. Bonaminio was born in 1949 in Lorain, Ohio, 30 miles outside of Cleveland. His father, Clem, was a steelworker, his mother, Marie, a housewife and sometime saleswoman. For a while, she peddled Fuller brushes door to door. Pushing a baby buggy, she discovered, was a terrific ice-breaker. Jim swears he remembers hearing sales pitches from inside the carriage! By the time Jim was 6, he was eager to start earning money for himself.
He began by offering to do odd jobs for neighbors. By the age of 13, he was collecting golf balls from a nearby course scrubbing, and then selling them to avid golfers. In high school, he washed cars and trucks for Ohio Edison. He was hitchhiking five miles to their parking lot, hauling his own hose, bucket, and rags. At age 19, he worked out deals to sell pillows, carpet remnants, and purses. Jim stocked the 1948 milk truck he’d got for $50 and became a garage sale on wheels!
