They own and operate Needham's. Stationery & Office Supply Store en State Street. Both agree that a family team is "good business.' (Statesman Photo). Needhams Find Father-Son Business Team Advantageous (Editor' aot: Thla 1 the first In a series of Articles on Salem' maay father-son combinations in buiinrn and professional life.) "I would like my son to follow in my footsteps If he wants to, but right now he thinks he'd rather be a cowboy," says Robert Needham, who is a partner with his own father in Needham's Stationery and Office Supplies Store on State St. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages In a father-son busi ness, say the Needhams. As Robert explains it, "there is more flexi bility in making decisions you don't have to consult stockholders or a board of directors on a deci sion." They do admit, "Sometimes we still think the other is wrong." But, they explain, "argument is the ba sis of all business." W. I. Needham, who was Sa lem's sheriff for four years from 1917 to 1921, says he didn't know a thing about "store business," un til he bought one. He learned to run it, he says, by trial and error. His training as a peace officer came in handy, he admits. "You loose your temper once in a while and the only thing to do is go in the back room and explode talk to yourself for a while." Worked at Store Robert Needham says he initia ted himself Into the business by getting into everybody's hair." He worked at the store after school and during vacations. After earn ing a degree in business adminis tration at college, he began in earnest. Starting with a broom and dust rag, he worked himself up through "outdoor" salesman to assistant manager. He says he really likes the business or he would never have gone into it but that it helped to know his father would hire him, "he had such a big investment in m he had to hire me." Another son, Winfield, chose to become a doctor. Of that, the sen ior Needham says, "it's all right one is enough in the store. Wide Variety of Stock Of their business the Needhams say that variety is the spice of their life. They stock everything from pencils, books and filing cases to chairs and desks and bed trays. In choosing their stock they say it's method of trial and error. "You try until you find what you think's just right and then just stick to It," they say. Though they haven't gotten to the place where they whip out pictures of their stock instead of their children, Robert admits that "you can't help but bo a little proud of the line you choose to carry. In spite of the fact that their store opens at 9 a.m. and closes at 5:30 p.m. the Needhams find, they agree, that their hours are not so regular. Likely as not, Robert will spend an evening checking the stock or making a display. His father says that, though his hours are a little more regular, "don't say that I keep regular business hours because someone might read it who knows I dont." Council to Get Petitions for Paving Projects Petitions for paving of streets in east Salem and In Kingwood Heights will be received by the City Council at Its regular meet ing tonight at the City Hall. One project calls for paving Ferry Street between 19th and 21st and the second for paving a portion of Riverview Drive at Kingwood Drive. Other business will include an appeal from Mrs. George Spaar requesting exten sion of Rose Street to provide access to her property. Public hearings are scheduled on two rezoning propositions. One would change property on North Capitol Street, north of 'Mill Creek to restricted business zone to allow use as a portrait studio. Tike second would change North Capitol and Market Street prop erty to permit expansion of a service station on the northeast corner of the Intersection. Other business includes a rec ommendation from the Planning and Zoning commission that $3,000 be made available to the city en gineer to prepare land use maps within the six-mile perimeter of the city to aid future zoning.
