Reel 1

0:00   Mrs. Eddie Jacobson answers questions from unidentified interviewer, possibly Merle Miller, about the relationship between Eddie Jacobson and Harry S. Truman.
    They had conceived the idea of going into business together before the war, and opened the business when they returned from France after World War I. Eddie called Mr. Truman "Harry" or more often "Boss." Mr. Truman called Mr. Jacobson "Eddie" or "Ed."
1:02   The two men never signed anything. It was just a handshake because they could trust each other.
2:16   Mrs. Jacobson says Mr. Truman and Eddie Jacobson made a pact before the war, that if they came back alive and in good shape, they would start a business together.
