Personal testimony THANKS TO "Larry from Texas,USA":
Good Afternoon,
My father was (Melvin.....) He was VP of Advertising, Mall Tool Co. Chicago, Illinois. He worked with Mr. Mall for 20 Years. Mall was a double Type A personality. As the years progressed Mall was the outside man and my Father was the inside man. Mall would be out all week and return on Fridays. The plant was located on South Chicago Avenue and covered a full city block. One Friday Mall and my Father were on the production floor and a production worker stepped off the line to take a water break. Seeing this, Mall instructed my Father to fire him. Dad encouraged Mall to return to his office so he could finish his day. Once the “smoke cleared” Dad visited with the targeted employee. Dad asked him about his family and if he was going to lunch. “Yes” was the reply. Dad told him to change shirts during lunch and to return to work wearing a baseball cap (the employees were Sox or Cubs fans). A good employee was retained and Mall was satisfied.
Larry R...........(Arther Wilhelm Mall)
Testimony from Diane Mall, Daughter of Arthur Mall:
Hello,
I typed in on the internet "Mall Tools".
Your sight popped up. Very impressive.
I am the daughter of Arthur W. Mall, founder of the Mall Tool Co.
I grew up in the Chicago area, moving to CA. in 1964.
I have a very small collection of Mall Tools that a friend collected for me.
My father was 53 when I was born. He died when I was 13. I have very fond memories of him.
I really never appreciated what he created on his own until well into my adulthood.
His success has created a wonderful lifestyle for me and I appreciate him on a daily basis.
Diane Mall
