Descriere

Când familia Showers a sosit în Bloomington, Indiana, calea ferată venise de curând în oraș și o universitate modestă se lupta să supraviețuiască. După ce și-a petrecut ultimii 18 ani mutându-se dintr-un loc în altul, familia a decis să se stabilească și să-și investească resursele modeste pentru a înființa o companie de mobilă. Afacerea s-a dovedit a fi extrem de profitabilă și un noroc pentru mica comunitate. Succesul companiei a întărit infrastructura Bloomington, ajutând la dezvoltarea de noi cartiere, iar actele filantropice ale familiei Showers au susținut dezvoltarea continuă a orașului. Contribuțiile familiei au ajutat Universitatea Indiana să treacă prin momente dificile și au deschis calea pentru a deveni cea mai mare universitate din stat. În această istorie detaliată a Showers Brothers, Carrol Krause spune povestea unei colaborări remarcabile de succes între afaceri, oraș și rochie.
