... The U-Haul company recently celebrated 60 years of serving do-it-yourself movers. With a 1937 Ford and $5,000 in savings, Sam and Anna Mary Shoen launched U-Haul in the summer of 1945. By the end of 1949, it was possible to rent a moving trailer one-way from city to city throughout most of the U.S., and by 1955 throughout most of Canada.

Wow! What a fantastic idea and investment for the Shoens! Great business model. I bet they have more than $5000 in savings today! (Well, their family, they would probably be pretty old today!) Thanks for sharing!
