π Throwback Thursday: The $28.37 Commission That Sold a Truck
Dust off the archives β this is an original Salesmen's Commission Voucher from July 1940, when salesman Paul Peterson sold a 128" wheelbase Ford truck to customer E. Carlson for $709.25.
His payout for closing the deal? A cool $28.37 in commission β about $650 in today's dollars, but back then, that was a job well done.
86 years and countless trucks later, we're still moving North Dakota forward. One deal at a time. π€
