Paul Messinger recalls creating a hamburger stand with neighborhood boys during his childhood in Scottsdale.
When I was in about the third grade, three or four neighbor boys and I came up with an idea of how we could make some money. We would build a hamburger stand out of our backyard sandbox. We were getting a little old for the sandbox anyway, so we might as well turn it into a money-maker.
We ended up with a small room with open sides. We built a counter along the front, where we could sell our hamburgers. Mom had a two-burner hotplate in the basement, which we could plug into a garage outlet and use to cook our hamburgers. This provided everything we needed for our business, except the bread, meat, mustard, ketchup and pickle relish. But we had a plan for that.Remember, this was in the 1930s when everyone had iceboxes.
We were ready. All we needed was to send some of the younger sisters and brothers door-to-door to tell the neighborhood about our hamburger stand. It was late morning when this solicitation started, and most of the adults were both hungry and a little intrigued by what was going on. I don’t remember how much we made, but it was a lot of nickels. We closed up by mid-afternoon when we could not get more supplies. A few parents began to ask about the sources of our supplies. They were as surprised to find the answer to this question as we were to find out that using our own families’ hamburger, bread and other supplies really was not honest.
