Excerpts from a letter written by Everett A. McKinney on 6 Feb 1991.
"In high school I took what was called a radio class. There was a large number of boys that wanted to learn about radio then. Of course i was one of them. The teacher asked if two boys would ask about parts and prices to make small crystal radio sets. So I and Gerald Price did just that. We found out about cost and where they could be bought. In that day the "A" battery was the same as a six volt car battery. The "B" was eather dry and one could make a storage battery. I saw an article in a magazine telling how to make a storges "B" battery. At first I bought test tubes and put them in a box that I had made using plaster of paris to hold the glass tubes in place.
After figuring the cost and adding the cost of labor and extra for selling it which is called profit. I started my business in a lean-to next to my Mother's garage. At first I just re charged the "A" batteries and made a few "B: batteries. I advertised in the paper saying what I could do and the prices I charged. In just a short time I had more work than I could so I found a friend to help. I also made a charger to keep them charged. I did not know when to start my business. In the radio class I was asked to do some thing and one thing led to another thing to do. You have questions I cannot answer.
When we moved to Eugene I worked for a short time in a battery shop. I quit that and bought and sold batteries from home when I could.
Took them home and repaired what I could. I sold them to used car lots and garage that needed cheep batteries for used cars. As the sales increase I had to hire help and buy a lot and build a new building. As the business grew more land and more building.
The business grew so I needed to borrow from the bank and I worked hard to pay off the loan off.
My business was unique because I could repair a battery and make it useable again. The repairing of batteries are not possible now because they are sealed with plastics. I could build new batteries." [Retired in 1968, the business property filled a quarter city block.]
Everett A. McKinney graduated from Santa Ana High School, Class of 1924, Santa Ana, Orange County, California.
