Chicagoans is a first-person account from off the beaten track, as told to Anne Ford. This week’s Chicagoans are Mark and Daniel Stein, brothers and owners of Mark Vend Co.
Daniel: And he was big. Six foot three, anywhere between 220 and 250. He had these gigantic paws for hands. Remember, Marky? When he got mad, one eyebrow would go up and one eyebrow would go down, and it was like, “Oh boy.”
Daniel: Dad would be rolling in his urn if he found out how much bottled water we sell. He was a Depression baby. The notion of selling water would baffle him. And we sell a lot of bottled water.
