Description: At sixteen years of age, John D. Rockefeller walked Cleveland, Ohio’s sweltering streets all day, every day, six days a week job hunting.  He visited the same employers two and three times.  Finally, he stopped at Hewitt and Tuttle, a general wholesale firm in a three story building.  John was able to speak with the owners and demonstrate his handwriting.  John D. Rockefeller was offered his first job as a bookkeeper/clerk.  “That was a momentous day to me, getting the first foothold, the chance to earn my living.”
