At age 17 a young Don Hutson helped his Dad selling houses in a brand new subdivision outside of Memphis Tennessee. Don had a problem. As a skinny teenager, he needed to wear a suit, to appear older and more professional. He thought adding a hat to the look would do the trick. And so launched a legendary sales career for Don Hutson. It was in that year he and his dad sold 76 houses, and the rest is history.
Although his plan was to succeed his mother and father to get his degree at their alma mater, fate had a different plan, and that twist of fate was the key to Don Hutson's incredible journey. He worked his way through the University of Memphis, graduating with a degree in Sales, the only one in America at that time.
