After the Navy, Chambers began working as a copy machine repairman in Cambridge, Massachusetts. By the time he was 22, he had started his own copier distribution company with money borrowed from his parents. He fixed copy machines door-to-door. He eventually sold the business for $80 million.〔Storrs, Francis, ("The 50 Wealthiest Bostonians" ), ''Boston Magazine'', March 2006〕 Chambers started his automotive business after purchasing a Cadillac dealership in New London, Connecticut, in 1985. His decision to purchase the business was based on his own poor buying experience at the dealership. As Chambers improved the operations of this first car dealership, he started the Herb Chambers Companies. Chambers lives in Old Lyme, Connecticut, and in Boston. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Herb Chambers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
